How to add code reviewers

[salini8642]

Hi Team,
need some assist I'm trying to be adding my team as reviewers when PR is raised the team will automatically add as reviewers instead of using CODEOWNER file is there any direct option is available in GitHub and they will receive the notification also. Here I don't want to use CODEOWNER file because we have no of repositories when I go this approach this will take lot of time and if any time one of the member in the team went out in organization, I need to update reviewer team or in case need to update new team I don't want to go and update CODEOWNER file because I already told we have no of repos. How can I do this can you please help me?

can you please help me how to do this GitHub API and Workflow Automation:
You can create a workflow using GitHub Actions that's triggered when a pull request is opened. Within this workflow, you can use the GitHub API to programmatically add your team as reviewers to the PR. This approach would require scripting and familiarity with GitHub Actions and API usage. However, it provides a flexible way to automate the process across multiple repositories.
because I'm very new to github and this will need any permissions

You can do that with an action. Here is the API to use https://docs.github.com/en/rest/pulls/review-requests?apiVersion=2022-11-28#request-reviewers-for-a-pull-request

However the GitHub token given to actions does not support being able to add a team review! 🤯
So any action to support this would need to have a personal access token.

is there any direct option is available in github for update the new team or user without touching the workflow yaml file

Actually, I'm member in my org and I have admin permission in repo, but I don't have permissions add team in org and you suggested use workflow for adding reviewers, but we have 100+ repositories when I go with your approach it will take lot of time and if in case need to update any team or user for reviewers I have to change workflow yaml in all repos but it will take lot of time how can I achieve my goal in short time is there any way in github like automation or manual
