• create-or-update-comment

A great GitHub action for this is Peter Evans Create or Update Comment action.

  Accelerating new GitHub Actions workflows

  

If you host your code on GitHub, besides scripts to automate certain actions, you can also leverage the huge ecosystem of GitHub Actions.

• take-action

  5 49 2.9

  This is an action to assign yourself to an issue for a repo you are not a contributor to.

My coworker bdougie (@bdougieyo) created the take Github action. It allows external contributors to self-assign issues by typing .take into a comment of an issue. This removes the burden of a bit of back and forth between contributors and maintainers.

• cli

  253 35,387 9.7 Go

  GitHub’s official command line tool

  

I'm using some GitHub Actions, a custom script that leverages the GitHub CLI and magic.

• nissuer

  1 106 8.4 JavaScript

  A GitHub Action for tried and tired maintainers.

Another action that came onto my radar a couple of days ago was thanks to styfle. Although I haven’t used it yet, nissuer looks like a great utility belt GitHub action for maintainers. The Next.js repository uses it, so I'm sure it brings lots of value to a maintainer.

  Source code for my web site nickyt.co

Don’t see a GitHub action for what you need? Create your own. You can even build your own by composing it from existing GitHub actions. Here's an example of a bespoke workflow I use for pulling in my latest video content from YouTube to my blog.
