This GitHub action copies issues from a source repo to the repo it runs in. The source repo is determined like this:
| Context Repo | input source_repo provided |
Source Repo |
|---|---|---|
Fork of repo upstream |
no | upstream |
Generated from template |
no | template |
| anything | yes | source_repo |
Note The action will fail if the context repo is not a fork or generated from a template,
and a source_repo input is not supplied.
You can use syntax like this in a workflow file, e.g. .github/workflows/copy-issues.yml 🚀
