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.
Currently this action uses the newrelic-forks/repolinter fork, which includes a number of changes needed for issue creation support. A PR to merge this fork into Repolinter is underway.

# options available:
# * "exit-code": repolinter-action will print the lint output to the console
# and set the exit code to result.passed. This output type is most useful for
# PR status checks.
# * "issue": repolinter-action will create a GitHub issue on the current
# repository with the repolinter output and always exit 0. See the README for
# more details on issue outputting behavior. This output type is ideal for

# Personal access token (PAT) used to create an issue on this repository.

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present in the issue is greater than the local GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER, repolinter-action will assume that its results are out of date and will not modify the issue.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:
