BLT-Action is an innovative GitHub Action designed to streamline the issue management process in GitHub repositories. It provides a simple yet powerful mechanism to automatically assign users to issues, ensuring an organized and efficient workflow.

• Automatic Assignment: Users can self-assign to issues by commenting /assign.
• Assignment Validation: The action prevents multiple assignments by checking if a user is already assigned to an issue.
• One Issue at a Time: Limits users to be assigned to only one issue simultaneously.
• Time-Based Unassignment: Automatically unassigns users from issues if they are not resolved within 5 days, keeping the issue flow active.

• A GitHub account.
• A GitHub repository where you have administrative privileges.

1. Add the Action to Your Repository:

   • Navigate to your GitHub repository.
   • Create a .github/workflows directory if it doesn't exist.
   • Create a new YAML file inside the workflows directory (e.g., blt-action.yml).
   • Add the following content to the YAML file:

   name: Auto Assign Issues
   
   on:
     issue_comment:
       types: [created]
     schedule:
       - cron: '0 0 * * *'
     workflow_dispatch:
   
   jobs:
     auto-assign:
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       steps:
         - name: Assign Issues
           uses: OWASP/BLT-Action@main
           with:
               repo-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
   

• To assign yourself to an issue, comment /assign on the issue.
• To unassign yourself to an issue, comment /unassign on the issue.
• The action will automatically check for your current assignments and assign you to the issue if you are eligible.
