Bryan Ellis commented on RAT-337:
---------------------------------
Also, slightly related, I've already been using this action in 21 of the
ASF-Cordova repositories.
Here is the example configurations we use:

> Apache RAT - GitHub Action
> --------------------------
>
> Key: RAT-337
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-337
> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Bryan Ellis
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: 1.0.0
>
>
> The Release Audit Tool is great for detecting "Unknown Licenses" when missing
> or when the header license is not Apache.
> In our Apache project, we are using this tool during our release process.
> Many times new files are created without license headers and not noticed
> until the release phase.
> For projects that use GitHub and GitHub Action workflows, I believe providing
> an action that can test on PR submission and push would be beneficial.
> Here is a GitHub Action composite workflow that was created to achieve this
> goal.
> https://github.com/erisu/apache-rat-action
> And here is the repo I used to test the above action.
> https://github.com/erisu/apache-rat-action-test
> This action only runs on Linux and could be updated to work on macOS. The way
> it is currently written will not work on Windows.
> If you think this action is useful and would like to take ownership, I could
> transfer the repo.
> In the above example the GitHub Action usage is:
> {code:java}
> - uses: erisu/apache-rat-action@v1
> {code}
> And if transfered and properly tagged, it could become:
> {code:java}
> - uses: apache/creadur-rat-action@v1
> {code}
