Close related issue [workflow]

[mepox]

Hi @bglamadrid !

This is the second github action I wanted to share. This is independent of the other one I mentioned.

So this one close the related issue when you merge a PR. The requirement is to use a prefix in the PR title like: Close #1 etc.

Source: https://github.com/ldez/gha-mjolnir

Example:

# Close issues related to a merged pull request based on main branch.

name: Close issues

on:
  pull_request:
    types: [closed]
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  closeIssueOnPrMergeTrigger:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Closes issues related to a merged pull request.
        uses: ldez/gha-mjolnir@v1.0.3
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

I don't think we need this. Because when a PR is closed, after linking it to issues or viceversa through the GitHub interface, the issues linked are closed too.
This is normal GitHub flow.

Though I did read on its repo README that it supports at least two additional features/use cases

• to close several issues from one PR
• to activate when the branched merged into isn't main

So perhaps it will prove useful if we get to the point of setting up a more complex git flow, with a staging and a develop branch or the examples brought under that same point in the README.

At least this is what I personally think.

Nevertheless, thanks for the suggestion @mepox

Hi @bglamadrid ! Thanks for taking your time to have a look.

Of course this isn't needed anymore. I posted this days ago when I didn't know how easy is to link an issue to a PR and once they are linked together, when the PR get closed the issue get closed too.
