👍 Top Issues Labeler - GitHub Action

A GitHub Action that labels issues with the most 👍s (+1s) reactions in your repo.

How It Works

This GitHub Action runs on a configurable schedule (cron) in your GitHub repo. The Action labels top issues and unlabels issues that are no longer top issues. Top issues are issues with the most "+1" emoji reactions on the issue description. "+1" emoji reactions on issues comments are not considered.

Examples

2. Add the following code to the main.yml file and commit it to the repo's master branch.

name: Label Top Issues

  schedule:
  - cron:  '15 0-23 * * *'

jobs:
  labelTopIssues:
    name: Label Top Issues

    - name: Label Issues
      uses: tinkurlab/top-issues-action@master

        TOP_NUMBER_OF_ISSUES: 10
        TOP_LABEL_NAME: "👍 Top 10 Issue!"
