Is it possible to use this for private repos and projects?

What the title says. I'm struggling to get it to work with my private repo and projects

@iwishiwasaneagle to answer the title question: yes, it is definitely possible. I use this myself in several repositories.

The configuration for private repositories is the same as for public repositories.

Example: https://github.com/leonsteinhaeuser/project-beta-automations/blob/main/.github/workflows/project_automations.yml

I'm not sure if you read the "Note" at the beginning of the README:

Note: GITHUB_TOKEN does not have the necessary scopes to access projects (beta).
You must create a token with org:write scope and save it as a secret in your repository or organization.
For more information, see Creating a personal access token.

If you have done this and it still does not work, try to add DEBUG_COMMANDS: true and DEBUG_LOG: true (as env) and send me the output.

      ...
      - name: Move issue to ...
        uses: leonsteinhaeuser/project-beta-automations@v1.2.1
        env:
          DEBUG_COMMANDS: true
          DEBUG_LOG: true

Hi,

Thanks for replying so quickly!

I got it working using the PAT. I was initially trying to get it to work with a Github App out of curiosity, but that wasn't possible somehow. The exact same config worked after switching the method.

Is it only possible with a Github App for public repo+project?

Maybe it is, but I haven't tested it yet.
