Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a current limitation where users could assign themselves to issues but lacked the ability to unassign. By implementing the /unassign command, users now have full control over their issue assignments, improving workflow flexibility and preventing users from being "stuck" on issues they no longer wish to work on.

Highlights

  • New Feature: /unassign Command: Introduced support for the /unassign comment command, allowing external users to remove themselves from assigned issues.
Changelog
  • CONTRIBUTING.md
    • Updated documentation to include instructions for using the new /unassign command.
Ignored Files
  • Ignored by pattern: .github/workflows/** (1)
    • .github/workflows/gemini-self-assign-issue.yml
