Projects

The issues and pull requests for UnitVectorY-Labs repositories are automatically added to the UnitVectorY Labs Project.

This allows for tracking, organization, and management of issues across all repositories.

GitHub Actions

The pattern with GitHub to have a large number of projects track their issues and/or pull requests in a single project must utilize a GitHub Action, actions/add-to-project.

.github/workflows/add-to-project.yml

name: Add all issues and pull requests to project

on:
  issues:
    types:
      - opened
  pull_request_target:
    types:
      - opened

jobs:
  add-to-project:
    name: Add to project
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/add-to-project@v1.0.2
        with:
          project-url: https://github.com/orgs/UnitVectorY-Labs/projects/41
          github-token: $

This uses an organization secret to provide access to update the issues and pull requests to automatically be added to the project. The required permissions are defined as:

• For Fine-grained tokens, you must first select the appropriate owner and associated repositories. Then select Organization permissions -> projects read & write, and Repository permissions -> issues read-only and pull requests read-only.

One important note is that because Dependabot and other external pull requests may be made to the repository, pull_request_target is used for the GitHub action instead of pull_request so this Action can run with the appropriate permissions.
