Octo-Say 🐙💬

Octo-Say is a simple GitHub Action created to help developers learn automation in a fun way. It works like a "Hello World" but with a creative touch.

What does it do?

The action connects to the official GitHub API to get an ASCII art of the Octocat. Then, it combines the Octocat image with a custom message that you choose and displays it directly in your GitHub Actions console.

Key Features

• Easy to use: Perfect for testing your first workflow.
• API Integration: It shows how a GitHub Action can talk to an external API.
• Visual Feedback: Instead of just text, you get a cool visual response in your logs.

How to use it

- name: Run Octo-Say
