Is there a way to run this action across all repositories in an organization?

Is there a way to run this action across all repositories in an organization? Obviously it can be applied per repository one by one, but is there a better way?

Thanks in advance!

I'm also interested in this as it would be much easier to only put the workflow in a single repo, and run it as a matrix.

The issue being is that there does not need seem to be a repository input field, so it seems to only use the context of the repository where it's running from... and I don't know if it's possible to overwrite the github context (I doubt it is)...

I did get an alternative working with austenstone/get-org-repos and a forked version Stale (amenocal/stale from PR #1081) using a Job matrix.

It has a maximum of 256 repositories it can process this way.

Here is my workflow file, if it's of any use:

name: Stale issues and pull requests

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
  schedule:
    - cron: '3 2 1 * *'

jobs:
  get-org-repos:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: austenstone/get-org-repos@main
        with:
          github-token: ${{ secrets.GH_TOKEN }}
        id: get-org-repos
    outputs:
      repos: ${{ steps.get-org-repos.outputs.repos }}

  sync:
    needs:
      - get-org-repos
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        repo: ${{ fromJson(needs.get-org-repos.outputs.repos) }}
      fail-fast: false
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@main
        with:
          repository: ${{ github.event.organization.login }}/${{ matrix.repo }}
          token: ${{ secrets.GH_TOKEN }}
      - uses: amenocal/stale@main
        with:
          repo-token: ${{ secrets.GH_TOKEN }}
          repo-name: ${{ matrix.repo }}

You can create and use starter workflows organization wide: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/creating-starter-workflows-for-your-organization

Create GitHub apps to run action jobs and install it in your organisation.
