Tired of complex PR comment actions?

Comment PR provides a straightforward solution for adding and updating comments on Pull Requests.

• ✨ Unique Identifiers: Automatically prevents duplicate comments
• 🔄 Smart Updates: Removes old comments and adds new ones to trigger notifications
• 📝 Markdown Support: Full markdown capabilities for both title and content
• 🎯 Minimal Configuration: Simple YAML setup with just three required fields

• Simplicity First: Designed for developers who want a no-nonsense solution
• Consistent Behavior: Predictable outcomes across all your workflows
• Notification Friendly: Updates trigger GitHub notifications to keep your team informed

Perfect for CI/CD pipelines, automated reviews, and status updates on your Pull Requests.

There are other GitHub Actions doing the same thing, yet their usage seemed so complicated to me and I wanted something simple and consistent.

The objective of this GitHub Action is as follows:

• Have a unique identifier for the comment to avoid duplicates.
• On subsequent runs, remove the old comment and add another of the exact same one just to get notified by email from the GitHub notification system.
