# auto-author-assign
GitHub Actions: Automatically assign pull request authors.
## Why this action?
In most cases, the pull request author should be assigned as an **assignee** of the pull request.
This action automatically assigns the pull request author as an assignee.
## Usage
```yml
# .github/workflows/auto-author-assign.yml
name: Auto Author Assign
on:
pull_request_target:
types: [ opened, reopened ]
permissions:
pull-requests: write
jobs:
assign-author:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: toshimaru/auto-author-assign@v2.1.1
```
## Use your own token
You can specify your own token.
```yml
jobs:
assign-author:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: toshimaru/auto-author-assign
with:
repo-token: ${{ secrets.YOUR_TOKEN }}
```
If not specified, `GITHUB_TOKEN` will be used by default.
## Enable auto-author-assign for issues
An issue's author can be automatically assigned as an issue assignee.
- Add `issues` to the trigger
- Add `issues: write` to the permissions
```yml
on:
issues:
types: [ opened, reopened ]
pull_request_target:
types: [ opened, reopened ]
permissions:
issues: write
pull-requests: write
jobs:
...
```

1. Someone is already assigned as an assignee
1. The author is a bot
