Move Stale Issues

This actions moves stales issues from-milestone to target-milestone.

This project is inspired by the https://github.com/actions/stale, but, since the stale action close issues and PRs, I decided to make a simpler action that only moves the stale issues.

Config

| config | description | default | | :------ | :- | :- | | repo-token | The github token. ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}) | *required | | from-milestone | The milestone name that we will look for stale issues you can pass milestone separated by comma (Milestone1, Milestone2...) | *required | | target-milestone | The milestone we will move the stale issues | *required | | days-before-stale | Total of days we consider an issue stale0 will move all issues from-milestone to target-milestone | 30 | | exempt-all-assignees | Exempt all issues with assignees from stale | false |

Using with Node.js

You can also use this action in your node.js app:

npm install move-stale-issues

const { runAction } = require('move-stale-issues');

(async () => {
  await runAction('repo-owner', 'repo-name', {
    token: 'PAT',
    fromMilestone: 'From name',
    targetMilestone: 'Target name',
    daysBeforeStale: 30
  });
