This is a template for creating GitHub actions and contains a small Go application which will be built into a minimal Container Action. Our final container from this template is ~3MB, yours may be a little bigger once you add some code, but it'll still be tiny!
In main.go you will find a small example of accessing Action inputs and returning Action outputs. For more information on communicating with the workflow see the development tools for GitHub Actions.
