Labels

Learn to categorize issues with labels.

Issue Labels

A label is used to categorize issues by type or topic. A bug report can receive the bug label, while a feature request can receive enhancement. Labels make repository issues easier to group and search.

bug         → Bug
enhancement → Improvement

Organize Issues with Labels

You can add more than one label to an issue. For example, a bug report can have both the bug label and another label indicating its priority. Label names depend on the classification used by the project team.

Issue: Form cannot be submitted
Labels:
- bug
- high-priority

Exercise Classify Labels

Store labels that could be used for a bug report in a list and print each label on a separate line.

Show example solution

labels = [
    "bug",
    "high-priority"
]

    print(label)
