This enables developers to find similar kinds of issues/repo once they are done with an issue. They can immediately jump to any one from the top 5 recommended issues/repo. </p> <h3> Link to Source Code </h3> <div class="ltag-github-readme-tag"> <div class="readme-overview"> <h2> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--A9-wwsHG--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev.to/assets/github-logo-5a155e1f9a670af7944dd5e12375bc76ed542ea80224905ecaf878b9157cdefc.svg" alt="GitHub logo"> <a href="https://github.com/Hemanthhari2000"> Hemanthhari2000 </a> / <a href="https://github.com/Hemanthhari2000/recommend-repo-action"> recommend-repo-action </a> </h2> <h3> </h3> </div> <div class="ltag-github-body"> <div id="readme" class="md"> <h1> recommend-repo-action</h1> <p>A Github action that recommends top 5 similar issues once a successful pull request is created.

I would spend days searching for a suitable issue that I can contribute to and once the contribution has been made, it's back to square one. I had to start my search for finding an issue that I can contribute to. I figured this process would be easier if I could get a few recommendations as soon as I complete a pull request successfully.

What inspired you?) </h2> <p>I occasionally contribute to open source, but I struggle to find the appropriate issue or repository to contribute to. I would spend days searching for a suitable issue that I can contribute to and once the contribution has been made, it's back to square one. I had to start my search for finding an issue that I can contribute to. I figured this process would be easier if I could get a few recommendations as soon as I complete a pull request successfully. </p> <p>Github actions seemed to be a perfect tool to implement this idea since GitHub serves as a hub for numerous open-source projects, and having an automated trigger using github actions sounded convenient. Besides, it promotes motivation among individuals to continue their contributions to open-source projects.</p> <h3> How I built it (How did you utilize GitHub Actions or GitHub Codespaces? Did you learn something new along the way? Pick up a new skill?) </h3> <p>For creating this application, the Github actions and the strength of its public APIs were immensely helpful. Github actions were new to me, but I gained knowledge and understanding as I progressed.</p> <h3> Additional Resources/Info </h3> <p>Created with love and passion. I am grateful for developers <br> <a class="mentioned-user" href="https://dev.to/sharmilas22">@sharmilas22</a> and <a class="mentioned-user" href="https://dev.to/antoprince001">@antoprince001</a>, who collaborate on this open source project.</p> githubhack23 productivity opensource githubactions
