๐Ÿ“š How to use this action?

The actions/checkout is mandatory to use this action, as it will need to access the repository files.

Field Mandatory Observation
first_file_path YES ex: path/to/file1.txt
second_file_path YES ex: path/to/file2.txt
expected_result NO PASSED (default) or FAILED
specific_line NO ex: 1 (integer value only)

Will return FAIL: If the diff output of the 2 files/lines is different than the expected_result input value.

Will return SUCCESS: If the diff output of the 2 files/lines is equal the expected_result input value.
