How to add label to an issue on GitHub

Question

I have recently created a new issue on my repository on GitHub, now I want to add a label to it, the issue is actually a bug. I don't know how to do it. I am the owner of that repository.

Answer 1

Well I find out how to label an issue, it actually simple

1. Create a issue from issue tab
2. Click on labels, a popup will open

3. Enter the label name & click create new label & then save

Label will be added, as simple as that.

Answer 2

Actually useful answer:

The UI does not make this readily apparent, but as a regular user you *cannot* add labels to an issue, you need triage access to that repository, even if you're the author.

The documentation for creating and applying labels can be found here.
