 [-AccessToken <String>] [-NoStatus] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

Initialize-GitHubLabel -Uri <String> [-Label <Object[]>] [-AccessToken <String>] [-NoStatus] [-WhatIf]

Replaces the entire set of Labels on the given GitHub repository to match the provided list of Labels.

Will update the color/description for any Labels already in the repository that match the name of a Label in the provided list. All other existing Labels will be removed, and then new Labels will be created to match the others in the Label list.

The Git repo for this module can be found here: http://aka.ms/PowerShellForGitHub

Initialize-GitHubLabel -OwnerName microsoft -RepositoryName PowerShellForGitHub -Label @(@{'name' = 'TestLabel'; 'color' = 'EEEEEE'}, @{'name' = 'critical'; 'color' = 'FF000000'; 'description' = 'Needs immediate attention'})

Removes any labels not in this Label array, ensure the current assigned color and descriptions match what's in the array for the labels that do already exist, and then creates new labels for any remaining ones in the Label list.

If provided, this will be used as the AccessToken for authentication with the REST Api. Otherwise, will attempt to use the configured value or will run unauthenticated.

This method does not rename any existing labels, as it doesn't have any context regarding which Label the new name is for. Therefore, it is possible that by running this function on a repository with Issues that have already been assigned Labels, you may experience data loss as a minor correction to you (maybe fixing a typo) will result in the old Label being removed (and thus unassigned from existing Issues) and then the new one created.
