🌓 GitHub action that checks for changes between nightly CI jobs

Example Usage

This example is taken directly from moducate/moducate's nightly-docker GitHub action.

name: "Nightly Docker Image"

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 2 * * *"

jobs:
  check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - id: nightly-check
        name: Check for changes since last nightly
        uses: lukecarr/[email protected]

  nightly:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: check
    if: ${{ needs.check.outputs.changes == 'false' }}
    steps:        
      # ... your steps here

In the above example, we declare the check job which runs this action. The nightly job will then subsequently run if no changes have been made to the repository in the past 24 hours.
