Success 🎉!!!

@Vshalson you're doing great! You've just used GitHub Script to comment on this issue!

Why might this be useful?

Using GitHub Actions can really help automate the events that take place in your repositories. Imagine it was a repository visitor who opened a new issue containing information about a critical bug. I assume you'd want to thank them for bringing that to your attention, however this simple task can become overwhelming as your repository attracts more visitors. By automating an issue comment we could easily thank our visitors every single time without the overhead of doing it manually.

What about us?

For the rest of the course we are going to design a workflow that helps us move issues into a GitHub Project board when they are created. This will give us increased visibility on the work that needs triage!

Let's add a card to a project board

We have added a project board to this repository for you. We will use this board, named Learning Lab Project Board, to add cards to when a new issue is created in your repository!

Like creating comments and opening pull requests, octokit/rest.js can be used for many more types of interactions. Managing GitHub Projects makes that list!

⌨️ Activity: Add newly opened issue to project board

1. Edit the current workflow .github/workflows/my-workflow.yml to have the following contents:

   name: Learning GitHub Script
   
   on:
     issues:
       types: [opened]
   
   jobs:
     comment:
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       steps:
       - uses: actions/[email protected]
         with:
           github-token: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}
           script: |
               github.issues.createComment({
               issue_number: context.issue.number,
               owner: context.repo.owner,
               repo: context.repo.repo,
               body: "🎉 You've created this issue comment using GitHub Script!!!"
               })
               github.projects.createCard({
               column_id: 15352355,
               content_id: context.payload.issue.id,
               content_type: "Issue"
               });

2. Commit the workflow to a new branch.

3. Create a pull request, I suggest the title Add issues to project board.

4. Supply the pull request body content and click Create pull request.

I am waiting for you to create a new pull request before moving on.

I'll respond in the new pull request when I detect it has been created.
