Match against glob action

This action tests whether filenames match against provided glob patterns. Useful to run another steps only if needed files were changed. Similar to GitLab changes feature which is available for a single job in a workflow. Uses minimatch internally.

Inputs

• Required filenames: Filenames split by comma. E.g. src/index.js,package.json,./tests/index.test.js
• Required patterns: Glob patterns as a YAML list. E.g. services/*-service/**/*,packages/**/*

Outputs

• match: 'true' if at least one file matches. 'false' otherwise
• files: Lists all files matching the patterns
