This is an example of using GitHub actions
to use the git-notes feature.
Git notes enables you adding data to a commit without changing it’s SHA. They’re available since Git 1.6.6. They’re cool for appending notes from automated systems (like ticket or build systems) but not really for having interactive conversations with other developers.
Displaying Git notes on GitHub is no longer supported. But you can store them anyway if you need to append additional info to the commits.
