command-output-file-action

Github Action to generate an output file from a command execution (success or error) 📝

---

📚 How to use this action?

The actions/checkout is mandatory to use this action, as it will be necessary to access the repository files to get the output file after the action execution.

Field	Mandatory	Observation
command_line	YES	ex: ls -lha
output_file_name	YES	ex: output.txt
display_file_content	NO	YES (default) or NO

⚠️ NOTES:

• A command line error won't break the workflow, but just extract the output on the file.
• You can then access the output file in the directory where you ran the action.
