  - uses: rusinikita/changes-action@v1

Action combines install script and other actions for fastest execution:

• Binary installation script
• Caching binary to skip installation in next runs
• Running check command
• Posting check result message in pull request

Full workflow

Create .github/wokrflows/changes.yml file and fill it with following content.

name: changes verification
on:
  pull_request:

permissions:
  contents: read
  pull-requests: write # important for message posting, removable

jobs:
  lint:
    name: changes-verification
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          # skip pull request merge commit, important if "no merge commits" validation enabled, removable
          ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}
          # fetch all branches and commits, important for git diff retrieving
          fetch-depth: 0
      - uses: rusinikita/changes-action@v1
        with:
          version: v0.3.2 # version of changes cli, default latest   
          pr-message: true # enables message posting, default false
          config: .changes.yaml # config file path, default is .changes.[yaml,yml,toml,json]

Note

Using latest version slows action run a little. It enables network request for resolving latest release. Resolved version binary cashed until new release detected.
