GitHub Issue Due Dates Action

Add due dates to GitHub issues - issues are automatically tagged with Overdue and Due in 1 week labels.

How it works:

1. Add the following to the top of issues you'd like to assign due dates to:

---
due: 2019-09-19
---

2. Create a .github/workflows/workflow.yml file with the following contents:

name: Main Workflow
on:
  schedule:
    - cron:  '0 * * * *'
jobs:
  Ubuntu:
    name: Add labels to issues
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: GitHub Issue Due Dates Action
        uses: alexleventer/github-issue-due-dates-action@master
        env:
          GH_TOKEN: "${{ secrets.GH_TOKEN }}"

3. Generate a personal access GitHub token.
4. Add the following environment variable to your repository secrets: GH_TOKEN={{your personal access token}}.
