GIPHY Generator - GitHub Action.

A GitHub Action (written in JavaScript) to generate a comment on issues and PRs, responding to the command /giphy <search_term>, leveraging the GIPHY API. Powered by GIPHY and GitHub Actions!

For example, if you commented on an Issue and included the phrase /giphy another one, you would see a comment from this action of a gif response from GIPHY's Search API for another one:

This repo isn't actively maintained, and may contain bugs. PRs welcome, though this was a fun PoC project.
