author_name [Bruno Alla]:

Choose from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 [1]:

The generated project will live in a directory named after the answer you gave for the hyphenated_name, this should match your Github repo name.

Next steps

• You code goes in src/app.py
• If your action needs inputs, you need to declare them in action.yml and get their values from the environment in app.py. An example input for something is commented out in both files.
• Create a virtualenv
• Install the dependencies
• Commit and push to the Github repo.
