workflow-run-diff-action

A GitHub action that outputs the diff between a workflow run and a previous run.

The intended use of this action is the following scenario.

You have a GitHub repository where a push to certain branches triggers a deployment - via a GitHub Actions worfklow - to some environments (e.g. push to the release branch triggers deployment to the prod environment).

You want to include a git diff with each deployment that shows the code difference between this and the last (succesfull) deployment.

Example output:
