github-comment-manager/README.md

# Description

This is a minimal REST API intended for use with a Continuous Integration system for managing comments on GitHub.

The problem this solves is posting comments in a PR from multiple builds without spamming the comment section. Instead we post just one comment with a table and continue to update it.

# Example Comment
