Github action for posting artifact diff details to PRs

[paularmstrong]

Problem

This repo doesn't have an example of how to get comparison output into its own PRs

Solution

Build a Github action to provide as a comment to each PR, maybe even commit?

Hi,

It's not related to web dev build artifact but you might be interested seeing this PR. I'm currently experimenting the idea of reporting perf result into PR comment using git-notes and github action. The basic idea is from this article which is about storing custom metadata on each commit using git-notes. Basically, every time the PR is sync via push, it will do macro benchmarks then store&push the perf results via git-notes (you can see the data here). I create the reports by querying the notes then feed it to python script (I'm thinking to replace it with vega-cli later). I also create small package called fluent-git which wrap several git-notes operation. However, that project got stalled because there is no project where I can use fluent-git.

Let me know if you have some thought 😉
