After setting up GitLab, I wanted to create a project workflow using Labels.\u00a0 However, I did not like the default ones.\u00a0 I set them up a my first Test project, but wanted to replicate the Labels across all future projects.\u00a0 There was a lot of googling and grepping involved, but I found out how to do it.<\/p>\n

All of the default labels are created in the file:<\/p>\n

\/opt\/gitlab\/embedded\/service\/gitlab-rails\/lib\/gitlab\/issues_labels.rb\r\n<\/pre>\n
I saved a backup of the existing issues_labels.rb<\/strong>, then I edited my to follow my desired workflow\u00a0 is basically involved setting a color and default text for each of my new labels as follows:<\/p>\n

Afterwards a restart of GitLab was required<\/p>\n

Now when I create a new project, I will get the default Labels I use in my workflow.<\/p>\n
