@roberth @RonnyPfannschmidt Now added a github workflow summary! |
Previously, even if the check also failed on the base branch, it looked like the PR introduced the failure. We can easily have a better error message for such cases. Meanwhile this also paves the road for something like NixOS#256788

Description of changes
Previously, even if the check also failed on the base branch, it would look like the PR introduced the failure (though I don't think this even happened).
We can have a better error message for such cases by also running the tool on the base branch, which is achievable with little extra effort.
However the main motivation really is that this paves the road towards #256788.
