[!NOTE]
This action vs. GitHub task lists
This action was created before GitHub introduced the task lists feature, which esentially does the same thing: synces the status of a task list item with a reference to an issue based on the issues state.
However, you can still use this action for the auto close epic feature.
There is even more sopishicated tasklists (not the missing space) feature in works at private beta, so the future of this action is uncertain, but for now it should remain functional.
This action allows you to create epic issues on GitHub. Simply label an issue as epic
and reference another issues in the task list:
This is an epic issue. List of individual issues is below:
- [ ] First issue #1
- [ ] Another issue (#2)
- [ ] Last issue #3 (not that important)
The action automatically updates the task list when referenced issue is closed (or reopened).
