Assign

The assign action allows you to assign one or more users to a pull request when the conditions you specify are met. This can help automate the process of designating the right people to handle specific pull requests, based on your conditions. This can significantly streamline your pull request management process and ensure that the right people are always aware of and working on the pull requests that require their attention.

Each entry in users, add_users or remove_users is a User: a GitHub login, or the {{ author }} variable to assign the pull request to its author. Other Jinja2 templating in these fields is deprecated.

Below is an example of how to use the assign action:

pull_request_rules:
  - name: assign PR to a user
    conditions:
      - "#files = 1"
    actions:
      assign:
        add_users:
          - "username1"
          - "username2"

Below is an example of how to use the assign action to assign a pull request to its author:

pull_request_rules:
  - name: assign PR to its author
    conditions:
      - "#files = 1"
    actions:
      assign:
        add_users:
          - "{{ author }}"
