Isort: Offical github action?

[michael0liver]

It would be nice to have an official GitHub action 😄, are there any plans for it?

There are now :wink: I think it would be nice to have an official github action and am happy to accept a PR that adds one

I believe it is preferable for an action to live in a standalone repo: in addition to it being a cleaner division, actions are semantically versioned based on released tags, which would conflict with the tagging scheme for the isort package.

For this reason, I've created python-isort action. I've also created this demonstration repository that shows examples of both a passing and a failing check.

If you have an interest in moving this action into an "official" isort organization, let me know and I can transfer the repo.

@jamescurtin this looks great! I agree with your assessment that it should be a separate repository. I've added you to the isort organization which should give you the power to transfer this repository into there while still maintaining access to it. That would make it the first official isort extension.

Would you be willing to:

• Mark the repository as using the MIT license
• Submit a small PR here to add documentation for this new action?

Thanks!

Sounds great! The license has been added & the repo is now in the isort organization.

Documentation PR has been submitted as well.
