In regards to Github Topics: https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/classifying-your-repository-with-topics
Is there a way to automate the creation of these topics/tags? For example, when a repository within the organization is initialized, I want to get that event via a webhook and then automatically add a Topic called - "abc-repo". Is it possible to do something like this?
I've been reading and haven't seen a way to automate this process. It appears they are just added via the Github interface from within the repository itself.
The topics can be set using the repositories REST API. If you create the repository via the API, you can pass the topics element with a list of topics you'd like, or you can update an existing repository using a PATCH request.
