A GitHub action to close an issue.

## Usage

| :exclamation:  Using this action is no longer necessary   |

|-----------------------------------------------------------|

The same functionality exists in the GitHub CLI. See the documentation [here](https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_issue_close).

```yml

    - name: Close Issue

      run: gh issue close --comment "Auto-closing issue" "1"

      env:

        GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

```

If you prefer to use this action:

```yml

      - name: Close Issue

        uses: peter-evans/close-issue@v3

        with:

          issue-number: 1

          comment: Auto-closing issue

```

### Close issues where the title does not match a specified prefix

This is just an example to show one way in which this action can be used.

```yml

on:

  issues:

    types: [opened]

jobs:

  titlePrefixCheck:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:

      - if: startsWith(github.event.issue.title, 'ABC-') != 'true'

        name: Close Issue

        uses: peter-evans/close-issue@v3

        with:

          comment: |

            Issue title must start with 'ABC-'.

            Auto-closing this issue.

```

### Close issue and add label(s)

```yml

      - name: Close Issue

        uses: peter-evans/close-issue@v3

        with:

          issue-number: 1

          comment: Auto-closing issue

          labels: |

            wontfix

```

### Action inputs

| Name | Description | Default |

| --- | --- | --- |

| `token` | `GITHUB_TOKEN` or a `repo` scoped [PAT](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token). | `GITHUB_TOKEN` |

| `repository` | The GitHub repository containing the issue. | Current repository |

| `issue-number` | The number of the issue to close. | `github.event.issue.number` |

| `close-reason` | Reason for closing the issue; `completed` or `not_planned`. | `completed` |

| `comment` | A comment to make on the issue before closing. | |

| `labels` | A comma or newline separated list of labels. | |

### Accessing issues in other repositories

You can close issues in another repository by using a [PAT](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token) instead of `GITHUB_TOKEN`.

The user associated with the PAT must have write access to the repository.
