First Interaction

An action for filtering pull requests (PRs) and issues from first-time contributors.

When a first-time contributor opens a PR or issue, this action will add a comment to the PR or issue with a message of your choice. This action is useful for welcoming first-time contributors to your project and providing them with information about how to contribute effectively.
