•	Add labels and assign users to the issue.
•	Fully customizable using input parameters.

INPUT_TITLE	Title of the issue.	Yes	N/A
INPUT_BODY	Body of the issue.	No	""
INPUT_LABELS	Comma-separated list of labels.	No	""
INPUT_ASSIGNEES	Comma-separated list of assignees.	No	""

Usage

Here’s an example of how to use this action in your GitHub Actions workflow:

name: Create GitHub Issue

on:
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  create-issue:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Create GitHub Issue
        uses: thomasvjoseph/github-issues@v0.0.8
        with:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          INPUT_TITLE: "Bug Report"
          INPUT_BODY: "Description of the bug."
          INPUT_LABELS: "bug, urgent"
          INPUT_ASSIGNEES: "username1,username2"

How It Works

1.	Inputs: You provide the title, body, labels, and assignees for the issue via the workflow file.
2.	Execution: The Action uses the GitHub API to create the issue in the repository where the workflow is executed.
