Added logic to check if a contributor has already contributed to good first issue

[Haimantika]

1. Added a check to see if the assignee has already contributed to a good first issue.
2. If the check if true, then it returns a message.

Closes #26.

refactor (blocking): for the good first issue check, all that needs to be checked is if they've ever contributed to the repository, regardless of the labels.

Would something like this make sense:

check_if_contributed_to_repository() {
           local assignee="$1"
           local response=$(curl -s -H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_PAT" "https://api.github.com/search/issues?q=is:pr+author:$assignee")
           local total_count=$(echo "$response" | jq -r '.total_count')

           if [ "$total_count" -gt 0 ]; then
               echo "true"
           else
               echo "false"
           fi
       }

This checks all issues. What I'd suggest is not even PRs or issues. If they have at least one commit in the given project, that disqualifies them from contributing to a good first issue.

Here's a rough example care of ChatGPT (don't necessarily trust it)

# Set your GitHub username, repository name, owner username, and access token
USERNAME="your_username"
REPO="repository_name"
OWNER="repository_owner_username"
ACCESS_TOKEN="your_access_token"

# Make a cURL request to list commits in the repository by the specified user
curl -H "Authorization: token $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
     -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
     "https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/commits?author=$USERNAME"

# You can filter the response to check if the user has commits
# For example, you can use 'jq' to parse JSON response and count the number of commits
# Ensure you have 'jq' installed: https://stedolan.github.io/jq/download/
# Example:
# curl -H "Authorization: token $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
#      -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
#      "https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/commits?author=$USERNAME" | jq '. | length'

Okay this makes sense. Thanks for clarifying, I will try to take a look over the weekend.

No rush @Haimantika, and thanks again for tackling this!

Hi @nickytonline do we want to make changes to the workflow? Or the action? Like I did a test here - Haimantika/test_repo#6 with updated workflow and it works.

[Haimantika]

Hi @nickytonline any comments on it?

[nickytonline]

Hi @Haimantika, thanks again for working on this. I haven't had a chance to look at this yet as I'm deep in feature work currently for OpenSauced. I'm going to carve out some time for this in the next couple of weeks.

Hi @nickytonline ping on this - hoping you could take a look at it sometime in this month 😁

[nickytonline]

Hey @Haimantika, apologies, work has been busy and this went by the wayside.

I'm going to take a peek at this on Monday.
