GitHub Actions for creating projects on Packet.com

Automate your infrastructure

This GitHub Action will create a new project on packet.com. Projects allow you to organize groups of resources and collaborators within your organization.

Creating projects

With this action you can automate your workflow by provisioning projects using the packet.com api.

To use this action you will first need an authentication token which can be generated through the Packet Portal.

Packet.com is NOT a free service, so you will be asked to provide billing information. This action will NOT have access to that information.
