To have in-depth documentation and examples, see the documentation website.
The documentation website is also available as a GitHub page, but we deprecated it.
After 30 days (coming from issue-days-before-stale) without any update on the issue, add a label stale (coming from issue-stale-label) on the issue to indicate that it is stale.
If an update occur after being stale, the stale label will be removed and the count will be reset back to 30 days.
Removing the stale label manually will also do the trick.
If the stale label on the issue is still here for more than 10 days (coming from issue-days-before-close), the issue will be closed.

Thanks goes to these wonderful people (emoji key):
This project follows the all-contributors specification.
Contributions of any kind are welcome!
Geoffrey 'C0ZEN' Testelin was originally a contributor of @actions/stale (see the contributors).
Due to slower cadence and different opinions over how the project should go forward, he decided to start from scratch on his own.
The main difference is that this project aims to provide the best stale action as possible based on consumers needs, even if it may be hard to provide such features. #noLimit - we do what we can to have an amazing stale action ;)
