GitHub Action
Beta Project Issue Adder + Labeler
This is a GitHub Action written in JavaScript. It allows you to automatically create a project card for an issue when it's created. It supports both repo-level projects and org-level projects.
The main.yml has an actions input, which allows you to customize which issue labels should map to which project/org/column. Here's an example that uses both repo-level and org-level projects:
actions: '{"data": [
{
"label": "test",
"project": "Ultra Project",
"project_type": "repo",
"column": "To-Do",
"repo": "super-repo"
},
{
"label": "wontfix",
"project": "Mega Project",
"project_type": "org",
"column": "Icebox",
"org": "ultra-important-org"
}
]}'
By default, the access token that GitHub generates for an action is limited to only the repo that the action is added to. Meaning, you can't get data for other repos; only the one the action is added to. However, it's possible to use a custom access token that allows you to access those other repos.
First, you need to create an Organization Secret called ACCESS_TOKEN, and set the value to the access token you want to use.
Once you've done that, you'll need to add github-token: ${{ secrets.ACCESS_TOKEN }} to your main.yml. See below for examples.
