Learn about IssueOps and what you can do with it

You probably heard about DevOps, ChatOps, and GitOps, but what in the world is IssueOps? Well, just as ChatOps can be initiated from a chat application like Slack and GitOps can be initiated from Git space like GitHub, IssueOps means that you can drive the automation from the GitHub Issues.

GitHub introduced Issue Form Template, which is currently in Beta. You can use this to create a nice, front interface. Then, you can combine this with GitHub Actions to pretty much automate anything.

Reference:

• Issue Form Template

Activity - Execute the sample GitHub IssueOps to create a repo and to apply some settings

Two different files enable this IssueOps demo

• Issue Form Template: Under the .github directory, you will find ISSUE_TEMPLATE. In there, demo-issueops-template.yml is a file that defines an interface using Issue Form Template
• GitHub Actions to trigger IssueOps: Under the .github directory, you will find workflows. In there, action-issueops-demo.yml is a file that will be triggered with a creation of new Issue.

You can go to Issues then click New Issue. Then, you can select Get started button under Create repositories using IssueOps and follow the instruction to observe the magic happen!

⏭️ After you are done, you can close this issue to move forward to next one.
