Python Container Action Template

This is a template for creating GitHub actions and contains a small Python application which will be built into a minimal Container Action. Our final container from this template is ~50MB, yours may be a little bigger once you add some code. If you want something smaller check out my go-container-action template.

In main.py you will find a small example of accessing Action inputs and returning Action outputs. For more information on communicating with the workflow see the development tools for GitHub Actions.

🏁 To get started, click the Use this template button on this repository which will create a new repository based on this template.
