GitHub Action for Assign to One Project

Automatically add an issue or pull request to specific GitHub Project when you create them. By default, the issues are assigned to the To do column and the pull requests to the In progress one, so make sure you have those columns in your project dashboard.

Acknowledgment & Motivations

This action has been modified from the original action from masutaka. I needed to fix it as the original docker container would not build. Also I think the GitHub Action syntax changed a bit.

Inputs

project

Required The url of the project to be assigned to.

Example usage

Examples of action:
