What is Lock Closed Issues and Pull Requests after a Period of Inactivity?
Lock Threads is a GitHub Action that automatically locks closed issues, pull requests, and discussions after they have been inactive for a specified period. It helps repository maintainers reduce clutter and prevent unnecessary engagement on resolved threads by automating a common moderation task. The action is highly configurable, allowing fine-grained control over which threads are locked and when.
Open-source maintainers, project administrators, and teams managing active GitHub repositories who need to keep discussion areas organized and focused. It's particularly useful for projects with high issue volumes or long-lived repositories.
Developers choose Lock Threads because it eliminates manual thread locking, saves maintenance time, and offers extensive customization through date filters, label-based rules, and commenting options. It's a reliable, community-tested action that integrates seamlessly into GitHub workflows.
