📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The updates focus on improving documentation and clarifying input behaviors for a GitHub Action. The README.md now provides clearer usage instructions, detailed descriptions of inputs, and a more comprehensive example workflow. The action.yml file has updated input descriptions to clarify the mutual exclusivity of the path and match inputs, and includes a debug statement for better transparency during execution. No changes were made to exported or public entities; all modifications are related to documentation and descriptive clarity.

Changes

File(s)	Change Summary
README.md	Clarified usage instructions, input descriptions, and example workflows; updated formatting and last updated date.
action.yml	Expanded descriptions for `path` and `match` inputs, clarified their exclusivity, and added a debug echo statement.

🪧 Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
- I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
- Generate unit testing code for this file.
- Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
- @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
- @coderabbitai modularize this function.
PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
- @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
- @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
- @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
- @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

action.yml (3)

14-17: Clarity: Improved path input description
The updated description clearly explains that path overrides the dynamic git-based matching and specifies its use case.

24-26: Clarity: Enhanced match input description
The new lines specify mutual exclusivity with path and detail default git-based matching behavior.

201-201: LGTM: Debug override message fixed
The typo in the debug message has been corrected to “Overriding,” and the log clearly indicates when static matching is bypassed.

README.md (5)

29-29: Approve: Inputs optional notice
Good addition clarifying that most inputs are optional, setting the right expectation for users.

35-37: Approve: Path example clarity
Nice tweak to prompt users to uncomment the path line when needed, improving example readability.

47-49: Approve: publish-artifacts comment refinement
The updated comment explicitly states the purpose of this input, which enhances clarity.

56-56: Approve: Inputs table update for path
Updating the default to “Auto-detected” aligns the table with the actual behavior and the action.yml defaults.

145-145: Approve: Updated “Last Updated” date
The timestamp correctly reflects the latest update of the documentation.

90-91: ### Full Usage heading correctly surrounded by blank line
Good to see a blank line before the “### Full Usage” heading, satisfying Markdown lint rule MD022.

109-113: Skip: Checkout step is clear and appropriate
The checkout step with persist-credentials: false and submodules: true follows best practices. No changes needed.

146-146: Confirm “Last Updated” timestamp
The timestamp “2025-04-28” is correct and matches the date of the latest documentation updates.

29-29: Refined usage introduction implemented
The updated phrasing “Add the following step to your workflow” clearly distinguishes this as a workflow step. This directly addresses the earlier suggestion.

35-37: Inconsistent instruction for path demonstration
The snippet leaves path: uncommented, yet the comment says “uncomment and set”. To avoid confusion, consider commenting out the path: line by default and instruct users to uncomment it.

90-120: Comprehensive “Full Usage” snippet looks solid
The new example covers minimal permissions, checkout options, conditional scan, and artifact publishing. Permission keys (pull_requests) are correct and the usage is clear.

146-146: Updated “Last Updated” timestamp
Reflecting the recent documentation changes with the date is helpful for readers.
