This action runs Repolinter on your repository. Repolinter's optional external dependencies (licensee, linguist, github-markup) are installed using a docker build step. Optionally you can also configure this tool to create GitHub issues with the Repolinter output.
The original version of this tool was created by New Relic, and this fork was created to continue development under TODOGroup.

# * "exit-code": repolinter-action will print the lint output to the console

# PR status checks.
# * "issue": repolinter-action will create a GitHub issue on the current

output_type: issue
repository: aperture-science-incorporated/companion-cube
username: my-token-username
token: ${{ secrets.MY_TOKEN }}If output_type is set to issue, repolinter-action will create a GitHub issue with the Repolinter output on the current repository. An example issue can be found here: aperture-science-incorporated/companion-cube#44.
To prevent unnecessary noise, repolinter-action will first attempt to edit an existing open issue before creating a new one. This check is performed every workflow run, and can be emulated using the following GitHub search query:
type:issue repo:<the current repo> creator:<username> label:<label-name> state:open sort:author-date-desc
If no issues are returned by this query, repolinter-action will create a new one. If more than one issue is returned by this query, repolinter-action will edit the first issue in the list (the issue most recently created) and ignore the others.
As GitHub Actions can run many workflows in parallel, repolinter-action runs may happen in a different order than commits occurred. To prevent out-of-order action runs from generating issue noise, repolinter-action will first search the body of the most recently created repolinter-action issue (open or closed) for a magic string containing the GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER of the last run that updated the issue. If the run number present in the issue is greater than the local GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER, repolinter-action will assume that its results are out of date and will not modify the issue. If the magic string is invalid, not present, or contains a lower run number, repolinter-action will assume its results are up to date and perform its modifications. This magic string is encoded as follows:
<!-- repolinter-action-workflow-number:<GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER> -->
