A GitHub Actions template to easily add or remove a problem matcher to workflows.

This template has been designed so the only code change you should have to make is in problem-matcher.json and optionally the tests for it. When editing the problem-matcher.json you should set the owner name to the application and/or report style being matched. Examples of this are eslint, eslint-compact, or eslint-stylish.

Make sure to also update the action.yml and package.json files.

Sometimes report messages might not include a line or column number and your regular expression doesn't pick those lines up. To help avoid those situations tests are provided to give coverage to the regular expression.

A useful resource to view and test your regular expression is regex101.com.
