Close GitHub Pull Request

❌ Close a GitHub Pull Request as unmerged

👨‍💻 Use the GitHub CLI
😱 You don't even need a GitHub Action to do it!

Usage

🚀 Here's what you're after:

name: Close with Lorem Ipsum comment
on:
  pull_request:
    types: labeled
jobs:
  test-action:
    if: github.event.label.name == 'lorem ipsum'
    permissions:
      pull-requests: write
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - run: gh pr close "$NUMBER" --comment "$COMMENT"
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          GH_REPO: ${{ github.repository }}
          NUMBER: ${{ github.event.number }}
          COMMENT: >
            Lorem ipsum is placeholder text commonly used in the graphic, print,
            and publishing industries for previewing layouts and visual mockups.
