Tip: To create secrets (such as secrets.AUR_USERNAME, secrets.AUR_EMAIL, and secrets.AUR_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY above), go to $YOUR_GITHUB_REPO_URL/settings/secrets. Read this for more information.

Tip: This action does not generate PKGBUILD for you, you must generate it yourself (e.g. by using actions before this action).
