# Create Issue From File

A GitHub action to create an issue using content from a file.

This is designed to be used in conjunction with other actions that output to a file.

Especially if that output can be formatted

as [GitHub flavoured Markdown](https://docs.github.com/en/github/writing-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax).

This action will create an issue if a file exists at a specified path.

The content of the issue will be taken from the file as-is.

If the file does not exist the action exits silently.

## Usage

```yml

  - name: Create Issue From File

    uses: step-security/create-issue-from-file@v6

    with:

      title: An example issue

      content-filepath: ./example-content/output.md

      labels: |

        report

        automated issue

```
