✨ Enhancement: It would be great having a Github Action that creates a PR with the changes required after a Add new tool issue is created

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Everytime that an "Add a new tool" issue is created, we need to manually add the changes while this can be easily automated.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to have an action that triggers after the creation of the issue and creates a PR with the required changes.

What do you think @aialok @DarhkVoyd ?

Hey @benjagm! I would like to create this. Could you clarify which changes need to be done manually and are repetitive?

[DarhkVoyd]

benjagm This would be great to have.
@rishabhknowss The tools data for the /tools page is available here: here. Currently, adding a new tool to the data involves creating an issue manually and waiting for someone to pick it up and create a pull request (PR). However, this process can be automated by using a GitHub Action that creates a PR with the necessary changes to add the tools. Hope this helps!

Hey @benjagm , @DarhkVoyd

i have few doubts, i have done this to solve this issue:

• a workflow (.github/workflows/auto-add-tool.yml) that triggers on issues.opened, runs a script (scripts/parseIssue.ts), and creates a PR.
• the script parses the issue body, updates tooling-data.yaml, and downloads the logo (if provided).

is this the right approach ?

[rishabhknowss]

Ah, I got the time to work on this! While I was solving this issue, I simply created a GitHub Action that triggers when an issue is created and saves the issue's information directly to the tooling-data.json file. After that, it creates a commit.

Something like this ? What do you think, guys? I guess not using another script would be a better approach here @Sahil-Shadwal
Can anyone tell me how to test the GitHub Actions locally? Meanwhile, I am fixing the workflow code!!

@rishabhknowss I think you can use yalc package

hi

i work on the this workflow create-tool-pr.yml This GitHub Actions workflow is designed to automate the process of adding a new tool to the data/tooling-data.yaml file whenever an issue is triggered with the "Add Tool" label.

Key Features:

• Trigger: The workflow is activated when an issue is opened or edited with the "Add Tool" label.
• Branch Creation: Automatically creates a new branch named after the tool and the current timestamp.
• Data Addition: Appends the extracted tool information to the data/tooling-data.yaml file.
• Commit and Push: Commits the changes and pushes the new branch to the repository.
• Pull Request Creation: Automatically creates a pull request for the new tool addition, summarizing the changes made.
