Issue Checker

A GitHub Action that ensures task lists in your issue template are completed when an issue is submitted. It can also scan for keywords that may be in your template but missing when an issue is created.

What It Does

issue-checker looks at the body of an issue and adds a label and comment if it has unchecked tasks in the tasklist and/or has missing keywords. For example, if each issue should have steps to recreate, you could add "recreate" as a keyword.

Setup

Create a workflow file (see Creating a workflow file):

name: "Issue Checker"
on:
  issues:
    types: [opened, edited, reopened]

jobs:
  check_issue:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: stevenzeck/issue-checker@
        with:
          repo-token: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"
