A Github Action to run Scala Script snippet code in issues.

It detects scala code in issues and comments. Each snippet must be annotated with scala-cli after backtick.

In the background, it uses ScalaCLI to run Scala code.

There are a few ways to annotate snippet of code to run:

• ```scala-cli
• ```scala-cli args
• ```scala scala-cli
• ```scala ... scala-cli
• ```scala ... scala-cli args

scala-cli keyword must be added to the end of header of a snippet. To pass arguments to ScalaCLI, add them after scala-cli.

For now, it is only available in a Linux environment. Windows and MacOs will be supported in the future.

It is recommended to specify a low execution time in timeout minutes.

test03

```scala-cli
println("Hello30")
```

test02

```scala-cli
// using scala "3.1.0"
// using lib "com.lihaoyi::os-lib:0.7.8"

println(os.pwd)
println("Hello9")
```

Use nightly checker to find the latest nightly that worked with the input snippet

⚠️ For now, nightly checker works only with Scala 3

There are a few ways to annotate snippet of code to run:

• ```scala-cli nightly-checker
• ```scala-cli args nightly-checker
• ```scala scala-cli nightly-checker
• ```scala ... scala-cli nightly-checker
• ```scala ... scala-cli args nightly-checker

```scala-cli nightly-checker
//> using scala "3.1.2"
// //> using scala "3.1.1" // Last working stable version

def test() = {
  func(_ => Box(Seq.empty[String]) )
}

def func[R0](to0: Unit => R0): Unit = ???

trait JsonFormat[T]
object JsonFormat{
  implicit def immSeqFormat: JsonFormat[Seq[String]]  = ???

  implicit def iterableFormat: JsonFormat[Iterable[String]]   = ??? 
}

case class Box[A1: JsonFormat](elem: A1)
```
