Learn about GitHub Action plugin that can automate Git workflow

GitHub Script action plugin from GitHub Action Marketplace can execute any available GitHub APIs that are available through GitHub REST

References:

• GitHub API reference
• GitHub Octokit REST API reference

For example, we can create a Project Board like this

github.rest.projects.createForOrg({
  org,
  name,
});

or create Cards like this:

github.rest.projects.createCard({
  column_id,
  note,
  content_id,
  content_type
});

Activity - Execute GitHub Actions pipeline script to discover and to manage Project Boards

You will find two GitHub Actions pipeline script under .github/workflows that are related to Project Boards automation:

• action-discover-projectboards.yml : You can use this to discover different Project Boards in a repo
• action-clone-and-create-new-project.yml: You can use this to clone a Project Board

Run the first script action-discover-projectboards.yml to discover different Project Boards. Next, use action-clone-and-create-new-project.yml to create a new Project Board based on an unique Project ID
