GitHub - actions/github: Wraps actions-toolkit into an Action for common GitHub automations.

🚨 This action is deprecated! Please use actions/github-script, instead.

This action conveniently wraps actions-toolkit, making it simple to do things like label, assign, and comment on issues on GitHub.

Here are a few use cases for this action:

Applying a "triage" label on any new issue:

name: Triage
on:
  issues:
    types: [opened]
jobs:
  applyTriageLabel:
    name: Apply Triage Label
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Apply Triage Label
        uses: actions/github@v1.0.0
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        with:
          args: label triage

Commenting on an issue

name: Triage
on:
  issues:
    types: [opened]
jobs:
  commentOnNewIssues:
    name: Comment On New Issues
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Comment On New Issues
        uses: actions/github@v1.0.0
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        with:
          args: comment "Hello World"

Assigning any newly created issues

name: Triage
on:
  issues:
    types: [opened]
jobs:
  assignMonaLisa:
    name: Assign MonaLisa
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
