GH Dynamic Assignee

This GH action inspects the MAINTAINER.txt file, expecting a single GitHub user handle. It makes sure that all PRs in the archive with the label Ready to Merge are assigned to the maintainer in the aforementioned file.

This GH Action reacts to two different events:

1. Label assignment to a PR,
2. Push to master branch.

For the first type of event, if the Ready to Merge label is assigned, the MAINTAINER.txt file is read (if it exists) and the contained Github User ID is assigned to the PR (and the other assignments cleared).

For type 2, when the master branch is merged to, and the MAINTAINER.txt file has been changed, all open PRs with the label Ready to Merge are assigned to the maintainer in the aforementioned file and other assignments cleared.

How to setup up

Create a workflow file in your project under .github/workflows/gh-dynamic-assignee.yml. The file should look like this:

name: GH Dynamic Assignee
on:
  pull_request:
    types:
      - labeled
  push:
    branches:
      - master
concurrency: ci-${{ github.repository }}
jobs:
  dynamic-assignee:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: GH Dynamic Assignee
        uses: ExodusMovement/gh-dynamic-assignee@v0.0.1
        with:
          github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          label_name: 'Ready to Merge'

Obviously, make sure you use the latest version of the GH Dynamic Assignee GH Action.
