Action Create Comment
This is a GitHub Action to create a comment to an issue or a pull request.
This action extract the number from an issue or a pull request which has triggered this by default.
It means you don't need to care about something annoying like whether you should use ${{ github.event.issue.number }} or ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}.
It would be more useful to use this with other GitHub Actions' outputs.
