github-action-psscriptanalyzer

GitHub Action to run PSScriptAnalyzer static code analysis checks on PowerShell for Pull Requests.

Success Criteria

By default, this action will succeed if zero PSScriptAnalyzer errors and warnings are found. Failing on errors, warnings, or informational issues can be configured. See Usage below. The sending of comments back to the PR if the action fails can be disabled if desired.

Usage
