Renders Markdown tables for inputs and outputs from actions.yml file.
Add following lines to Markdown file:
<!--(inputs-start)--> <!--(inputs-end)--> <!--(outputs-start)--> <!--(outputs-end)-->
This action will always replace contents between start/end tags. Only one pair might be used.
The script update_readme.sh is also usable on its own:
update_readme.sh [target file = README.md] [action definition = action.yml]name: Update README.md
