🗣 Description
This pull request adds a configuration leveraging GitHub Actions to automatically label pull requests based on the contents of the pull request. This includes a new GitHub Actions workflow and a configuration file for the [actions/labeler] action.
💭 Motivation and context
This automates some of the tedium of labeling pull requests to, for now, only requiring manual intervention for less strictly defined labels like
bug,improvement,security, etc. instead of for all changes in a pull request. This will help ensure that what labels we can are correctly applied if applicable.🧪 Testing
Automated tests pass. I did some testing in my personal GitHub Actions testing repository and a prototype version of this was added in cisagov/cyhy_amis#883 with success on subsequent pull requests in that repository.
