Retrieving list of modified files in GitHub action

Question

I'm new to GitHub actions and am currently using https://github.com/foo-software/lighthouse-check-action to have audits done automatically. But since the urls have to be hard-coded in, it doesn't prove that useful when wanting to audit only the modified pages in a commit and failing based off of those.

In the case that I am totally missing something, is there a way to achieve the above? I was looking at some actions like https://github.com/marketplace/actions/get-changed-files but I can't get it to work. I also looked at the GitHub events and references docs and was unable to figure out something with those. Would someone point me in the right direction?

Thank you in advance for your help!

lots0logs/gh-action-get-changed-files action is broken atm due to this bug. Take a look at jitterbit/get-changed-files action. It works perfectly for me:

.github/workflows/test.yml

name: Test

on: push

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/[email protected]
      - uses: jitterbit/get-changed-files@v1
        id: abc
        with:
          format: space-delimited
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      - name: Printing
        run: |
          echo "All:"
          echo "${{ steps.abc.outputs.all }}"
          echo "Added:"
          echo "${{ steps.abc.outputs.added }}"
          echo "Removed:"
          echo "${{ steps.abc.outputs.removed }}"
          echo "Renamed:"
          echo "${{ steps.abc.outputs.renamed }}"
          echo "Modified:"
          echo "${{ steps.abc.outputs.modified }}"
          echo "Added+Modified:"
          echo "${{ steps.abc.outputs.added_modified }}"

Logs output:
