awesome-actions - template

Awesome actions is a repository template that comes with pre-configured GitHub Actions that

• create project board
• create a welcome issue with info on how to use GitHub
• greets first time contributors to issues and pull requests with a warm welcome message
• add the names of everybody who stars the repository in its README
• mark issues that did not receive comments as stale and closes them a bit later if there was no recent activity
• add a cat gif to any pull request created to reward pushing code
• add a template message based on a label
• turns TODO comments in code into issues
• executes Javascript talking to the GitHub API directly from a comment
• rebases a pull request if you use the /rebase issue ops command
• automatically disables bootstrap workflows after initial execution

Any repository that will use this template as its base will automatically get those workflows enabled. It can be used as a show case on how Open and Inner Source best practices (like welcoming new contributors) as well as bootstrapping project boards can be "codified" and reused and constantly improved as part of a repository template. It also demonstrates how to react on non CI/CD specific events likes issues, pull requests, added stars and peridodic workflow executions.
