Label files with labels to categorize issues/tickets go into .

Gitea 1.19 introduced a pretty cool new label format. There is an example of a label file on the gitea GitHub page Advanced.yaml. At the time of writing the YAML example misses the three mandatory dashes ‘—’, that indicate the start of a new YAML document.

Example of a label file:

--- labels: - name: "issue/bug" # scope/label exclusive: false # defines if label is exclusive for namespace color: aabbcc # RGB hex colour code description: Some label # label description - name: "fruit/kiwi" ...

The old format with one line per label in the form of is still supported, but it is recommended to use the new YAML format.
