Sync GitHub Actions across repositories

sarina commented 1 year ago

Problem statement

We have many Actions that could reasonably be expected to be present on all repositories. However there is currently no way to sync Actions across repositories.

v0 requirements:

For a given Action, that Action can be placed in all repositories automatically
Repositories are automatically checked on some cadence, and new repos without the Action get the action added to it
Initial set of actions to sync to all repos: self assign issue, depr automation, commitlint, and label by commenting

Problem 2

Additionally there's no way to sync an updated version of an Action.

v1 requirements:

For repositories that have the Action, check to see if it is up to date with the canonical version in the .github/ repo. If it is not, update it.
