GitHub Action that automatically creates an issue with an overview of the commits that are waiting to be released. After creating the release, the issue will be automatically closed during next action run.

Configure this action in your workflows providing the inputs described below in order to get notified in x days after the repo has been updated but no npm release has happened.

Required A GitHub token. See below for additional information.

Optional The number of days after which unreleased commits should be considered stale and should notify for a release. Default is 7.

Optional Limit the number of first x lines from commit messages that will be added in the issue description. No truncation when set to 0. Default is 1.

• Checks and compares npm last modified date and git latest repo update.
• If the repo doesn't have an npm package linked the run will exit with a warning log.
• A GitHub token is automatically provided by Github Actions, which can be accessed using secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN and supplied to the action as an input github-token.
• The example below sets a scheduled job to happen once a day that checks for a stale release. Adjust to the desired frequency.
