Hello @amenocal , thank you for the suggestion, we start to estimate the value of this feature

@dsame sounds good! I am aware I did this in the most simple approach, but happy to help if there are better methods on approaching this 😄

I would like to know if this PR could be reviewed. There is kind of proposal behind that are interesting, and that use this patch.

👍 We also have a use case where we have multiple Github organizations with hundreds of repos that we'd like to run this action for. The current approach of adding a workflow to every repo is pretty tedious and hard to maintain if there were any configuration changes. Adding the ability to target a repo allows us to have a single workflow cron that can iterate through all of our organizations and repos (and uses a custom access token) and run the stale action with a set of standardized options.

Please consider merging this change!

For you information. I made a feature request for Github also. https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/85004

Hi @dsame I am sorry for bothering you, but it is already 9 months after last message from you and you stated that you started estimation process. Do you have any news about that? We really need that stuff too =(

@actions/setup-actions-team Please review and merge if no issues found. This feature would be very helpful to orgs with many repos. Currently, it's a huge pain to copy workflows to every repo.

It could help resolve:

#849
#1089
#1128

This is something my organization needs, too. We want to run this in a matrix job in a single workflow for our repos.
