GitHub issue tracker - GitHub Marketplace

This is a GitHub Action which runs periodically (e.g. once an hour) and grabs the current data from the Github API and stores it in a file in the repository(in the .github/actioncloud/issue-tracker/data.json). The code is mainly from vscode-issue-tracker, and I make it a GitHub Action.

Usage

    - name: Check output
      run: echo '${{ steps.tracking.outputs.actioncloud-badge }}'

GitHub Issue Tracker Viewer

The Action will store the issues data into your repository, and you need a web view page to see the chart. The viewer page is hosted in actioncloud.github.io, the url is https://actioncloud.github.io/apps/github-issue-tracker?owner=<your_owner_name>&repo=<your_repo_name>.

You can put a badge in your README file:

# remember to change the owner_name and repo_name to yours:
