Lock

GitHub App

⚠️ This app is no longer maintained, please migrate to Lock Threads.

A GitHub App that locks closed issues and pull requests after a period of inactivity.

Usage

  1. Install the GitHub App for the intended repositories
  2. Create .github/lock.yml based on the template below
  3. It will start scanning for closed issues and/or pull requests within an hour

If possible, install the app only for select repositories. Do not leave the All repositories option selected, unless you intend to use the app for all current and future repositories.

Configuration

Create .github/lock.yml in the default branch to enable the app, or add it at the same file path to a repository named .github. The file can be empty, or it can override any of these default settings:

# Configuration for Lock Threads - https://github.com/dessant/lock-threads-app
