Create Issue From File

CI GitHub Marketplace

A GitHub action to create an issue using content from a file.

This is designed to be used in conjunction with other actions that output to a file. Especially if that output can be formatted as GitHub flavoured Markdown. This action will create an issue if a file exists at a specified path. The content of the issue will be taken from the file as-is. If the file does not exist the action exits silently.

Usage

      - name: Create Issue From File
        uses: peter-evans/create-issue-from-file@v5
        with:
          title: An example issue
          content-filepath: ./example-content/output.md
          labels: |
            report
            automated issue
