This is a template for creating GitHub actions and contains a small Go application which will be built into a minimal Container Action. Our final container from this template is ~3MB, yours may be a little bigger once you add some code, but it'll still be tiny!
In main.go
you will find a small example of accessing Action inputs and returning Action outputs. For more information on communicating with the workflow see the development tools for GitHub Actions.
Describe how to use your action here.
