A GitHub Action that scans commits on a pull request and automatically updates the PR description with a list of referenced issue numbers.

Recognises these formats in commit messages:

• #1234
• (#1234)

name: Update PR Issues

on:
  push:
    branches-ignore:
      - main
      - master
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]

jobs:
  update-pr:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      pull-requests: write
      contents: read
    steps:
      - uses: dominikschwind/update-pr-issues@v2

The action adds a managed section to the PR description (preserving any text you wrote outside it) that looks like:

## Referenced Issues

* #1234
* #1235

The section is wrapped in HTML comment markers so it can be safely replaced on every push without touching the rest of the description.

npm install          # install dependencies
npm test             # run unit tests
npm run build        # bundle into dist/ with ncc

The dist/ folder is committed to the repo and rebuilt automatically by CI on every push to main. Do not edit dist/ by hand.
