Replace pattern in Release body with a text

Motivation

I needed to replace Jira issues numbers [XYZ-1234] in our Release body with actual links to them.

Usage

name: Release notes jira links

on:
  pull_request:
    types:
      - opened

jobs:
  fill-pr-body:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: stefanluptak/replace-in-release-body@v1
        with:
          pattern: "\\[(XYZ-[0-9]+)\\]"
          replacement: "\\[\\1\\]\\(https:\\/\\/your.atlassian.net\\/browse\\/\\1\\)"

Notes

actions/checkout@v2 step before this action is needed, otherwise the hub command inside the action won't know on what git repository to operate.
