Action to detect changes in a branch

Detect Branch Changes

This is GitHub Action allows you to detect all changes in a branch. This is done by detecting the fork-point of the current branch with the repo's main branch.

• pathspec - Which paths should be considered to detect changes on. This path spec must be compattible with the git diff command.

Outputs

• changed - Returns "true" or "false" if files were changed on the current branch since it was forked from base_branch.
• fork_point_sha - The commit SHA that is considered the fork point between this branch and and the base_branch.
