Export and import GitHub labels between projects by running JavaScript in the browser console to automate clicks.

	/**
	* Inspired by @MoOx original script: https://gist.github.com/MoOx/93c2853fee760f42d97f
	* Adds file download per @micalevisk https://gist.github.com/MoOx/93c2853fee760f42d97f#gistcomment-2660220
	*
	* Changes include:
	* - Get the description from the `title` attribute instead of `aria-label` (doesn't exist anymore)
	* - Use style.backgroundColor and parse the rgb(...) to hex (rather than regex parsing of 'style' string)
	* - Downloads labels to a JSON file named after the webpage to know which GitHub repo they came from.
