Comment on a git commit

[jasikpark]

I'm building a deploy preview commenting step and initially I didn't add if: github.event_name != 'push' to my comment steps so my comments were getting updated with the main branch deploy links. Adding the if statement works for that, but I realize I'd like to comment on the commit to main w/ the deploy status.

I realize that's not something this action explicitly supports, but it'd be useful. I wonder if I should explore how to do action status links like Netlify and other apps do instead??

@jasikpark I agree, that would be very helpful. The way I've handled that situation in the past is to use a workflow that updates the main branch README.md with the message I want.

If you could explore how to do what you're saying and share some links to relevant GitHub APIs I could definitely look at adding a feature for this.
