tfsec-pr-commenter-action

Add comments to pull requests where tfsec checks have failed

To add the action, add tfsec_pr_commenter.yml into the .github/workflows directory in the root of your Github project.

The contents of tfsec_pr_commenter.yml should be;

name: tfsec-pr-commenter
on:
  pull_request:
jobs:
  tfsec:
    name: tfsec PR commenter
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Clone repo
        uses: actions/checkout@master
      - name: tfsec
        uses: aquasecurity/tfsec-pr-commenter-action@v1.2.0
        with:
          github_token: ${{ github.token }}

On each pull request and subsequent commit, tfsec will run and add comments to the PR where tfsec has failed.

The comment will only be added once per transgression.
