# GitHub Issue Creator Action

This GitHub Action allows you to programmatically create issues in a GitHub repository based on user-defined inputs such as title, body, labels, and assignees.

## Features

	•	Create issues with a title and description.

	•	Add labels and assign users to the issue.

	•	Fully customizable using input parameters.

## Inputs

| Input             | Description                        | Required | Default                |

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

| `GITHUB_TOKEN`    | Token for authenticating GitHub API. | Yes      | `secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN` |

| `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

```yaml

on:

  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:

  create-issue:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:

      - name: Create GitHub Issue

        uses: thomasvjoseph/[email protected]

        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.
