Contributing
This action uses Javascript github actions toolkit. Code using the src
directory, and before submitting your PR, check and run a npm run build
, otherwise your changes will not be applied to the final action which resides in the dist
directory.
We use this way to avoid jobs having to install npm modules and create a final version without dependencies on our code.
