Parameters

Name	Type	Description
`labels`	`array` of `strings`	The names of the labels to add to the issue. You can pass an empty array to remove all labels. Note: Alternatively, you can pass a single label as a `string` or an `array` of labels directly, but GitHub recommends passing an object with the `labels` key.
