commently - Comment easily 😀💬

commently is a package for leaving comments on a GitHub PR from CI. However, what makes commently different is that it will update the same comment and keep a history over time. This allows less noise on PRs, and also a way for users to references prior automation.

An example of a use case for commently is preview releases. If your project does a preview build, you can use commently to publish a comment to GitHub with the preview version and instructions for your users on how they can test.

Installation

yarn add commently-cli --dev

Alternatively, you can run via npx

npx commently-cli
