# Copilot Instructions
This GitHub Action is written as a Docker container that invokes an entrypoint
script. The entrypoint script is responsible for invoking the main logic of the
action.

## General Coding Guidelines
- Follow standard shell scripting conventions and best practices
- Changes should maintain consistency with existing patterns and style
- Document changes clearly and thoroughly, including updates to existing
comments when appropriate
- Do not include basic, unnecessary comments that simply restate what the code
is doing (focus on explaining _why_, not _what_)
- Use consistent error handling patterns throughout the codebase
- Keep functions focused and manageable
- Use descriptive variable and function names that clearly convey their purpose
- When suggesting code changes, always opt for the most maintainable approach.
Try your best to keep the code clean and follow "Don't Repeat Yourself" (DRY)
principles
- Avoid unnecessary complexity and always consider the long-term maintainability
of the code
### Versioning
GitHub Actions are versioned using branch and tag names. The version should
follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) principles.
## Pull Request Guidelines
When creating a pull request (PR), please ensure that:
- Keep changes focused and minimal (avoid large changes, or consider breaking
them into separate, smaller PRs)
- Formatting checks pass
- Linting checks pass
- If necessary, the `README.md` file is updated to reflect any changes in
functionality or usage
The body of the PR should include:
- A summary of the changes
- A special note of any changes to dependencies
- A link to any relevant issues or discussions
- Any additional context that may be helpful for reviewers
## Code Review Guidelines
When performing a code review, please follow these guidelines:
- If there are changes that modify the functionality/usage of the action,
validate that there are changes in the `README.md` file that document the new
or modified functionality
