Create a comment on a pull request, if it exists update that comment. This library runs with GitHub Actions. If you feel that the example grammar below is not friendly enough, we recommend reading this page first.

In some cases, different actions may require different comments. The header allows you to maintain comments independently.

    id: test

      OUTPUT=$(rake test)

      OUTPUT="${OUTPUT//$'\r'/'%0D'}"
      echo "result=$OUTPUT" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT

        ${{ steps.test.outputs.result }}
        ```

If for some reason, triggering on pr is not possible, you can use push.
