Success 🎉!!!
@boss1088 you're doing great! You've just used GitHub Script to comment on this issue!
Why might this be useful?
Using GitHub Actions can really help automate the events that take place in your repositories. Imagine it was a repository visitor who opened a new issue containing information about a critical bug. I assume you'd want to thank them for bringing that to your attention, however this simple task can become overwhelming as your repository attracts more visitors. By automating an issue comment we could easily thank our visitors every single time without the overhead of doing it manually.
What about us?
For the rest of the course we are going to design a workflow that helps us move issues into a GitHub Project board when they are created. This will give us increased visibility on the work that needs triage!

Let's add a card to a project board
We have added a project board to this repository for you. We will use this board, named Learning Lab Project Board, to add cards to when a new issue is created in your repository!
Like creating comments and opening pull requests, octokit/rest.js can be used for many more types of interactions. Managing GitHub Projects makes that list!
Things aren't always as they appear!
Although this is not a course on octokit/rest.js, it is important to tell you a little secret right here before we move on. For you to be able to use the `projects.createCard()` method there were some pieces of information we needed beforehand. Things like the `column_id` so we know which column to add the card to and even a `project_id` so we know which board that column belongs to.
We've gone ahead and done this on our end of things so that we could give you the final piece to the puzzle and demonstrate how to use GitHub Script. So if you try to recreate this on your own, without the help of Learning Lab you will need to get that information and parse it in a way that works well for your use case!
