GitHub Estimates Action

Used to working with estimation JIRA style, and want to do something like that in GitHub? This is for you.

This action automatically updates project column titles with issue estimate (i.e. story points, hours, etc.) totals, based on labels attached on issues. Use this action together with the issues::labeled, issues::unlabeled, project_card::moved and project_card::created events, and have your project boards update within a couple of seconds after updating cards/issues/estimates.

Requirements

Project must have one or more labels with a description named "Story Point" and a numeric value, such as 0.5 or 10. Use these labels on issues, to estimate them, and let the workflow provide the overview.

Inputs

• token (required) GitHub repository token ($GITHUB_TOKEN)
• owner (required) GitHub user or organisation.
• repo (required) GitHub repository name.
