GitHub Actions — Labeler vs Github-script
There are many Github Actions available in the marketplace, however, you might need to test them one by one, to check if they are the right action for the purpose you are looking for. Otherwise, another suggestion will be to create your own Github Actions. You can also post your created github actions into the marketplace, to be used by others.
Github-script is the closest GitHub action solution to apply the contributor label based on a user’s activities. Github labeler action only detects the file changes, but it is not able to check on the user information. It is possible to create a GitHub action labeler workflow through GitHub CLI. Ethan, one of the ProgramEquity mentors, suggested using the if condition, as you can see in the snapshot below, as well as the ticket here.
