A very simple GitHub action implementing the command design pattern
This repository is an example action adopting the design pattern discussed in this blog post: Adopting the command design pattern for GitHub Actions
If you introduce changes to the action, don't forget to build! The action's entry point is dist/index.js not src/cli.js. You can trigger a build by running: npm run build.

# Because the action is hosted in this same repository and it has not
# been published to the marketplace, we have to checkout the repo

# the name of the command to call
