Create Issue From File
A GitHub action to create an issue using content from a file.
This is designed to be used in conjunction with other actions that output to a file. Especially if that output can be formatted as GitHub flavoured Markdown. This action will create an issue if a file exists at a specified path. The content of the issue will be taken from the file as-is. If the file does not exist the action exits silently.
