Screenshots

The standard webhook from GitHub to Discord just dumps the commit messages right into your chat, this is fine but sometimes you just want some extra information. Did the commit introduce any new issues? Did it even compile successfully? That's what this Action is for.

Standard Webhook	New and improved Webhook

Setup

Setup this code on your repository's .github/workflows/ in a file like discord-push.yml and push the changes:
