Ability to comment the PR with some information about the Env, Apps, DNS, etc.

It would be great if we could have a dedicated action that we could use to comment the PR with insightful information like:

• View in Humanitec - link to the
• EnvId
• List and links of all the DNS of the App deployed
• Deployment Diff/Output
• ...

This is a typically workflow with PR for testing feature branch, especially with new/ephemeral envs.

Something around these lines (credit to @williamoverton for that!), see attached.

Kind of different from create and notify, why not comment, comment-summary or `get-summary?

This action could/should wait for the in-progress Deployment.

Kind of what is done in there: https://github.com/Humanitec-DemoOrg/ephemeral-env-demo/blob/main/.github/workflows/pull_request.yaml.

In our testing we found comments fairly annoying as they trigger notifications and we went with the github deployment api instead to show the link to the deployed app and deployment in Humanitec.

Nevertheless it might be worth to make this an opt-in feature.

yep, exactly, explicit action, that user can use or not, more options :)

As a Developer:

I don't have to open Humanitec to grab the URL in order to test my app and see that I haven't broken anything. I can just click on the URL provided in the PR's comment.

I have also seen GHA removing previous comment if same as the new one added, to avoid too many comments as you will do many commits in one PR for example.
