Usage

The following settings change this plugin's behavior.

• github_token (required, secret recommended) GitHub authentication token.
• github_repo (required) the repo to act on.
• workflow_id (required) the workflow to act on, eg workflow.yml.
• workflow_actions (required) the actions to execute, one or more (separated by ,) of:
