Create Issue From File

A GitHub action to create an issue using content from a file.

This is designed to be used in conjunction with other actions that output to a file. Especially if that output can be formatted as GitHub flavoured Markdown. This action will create an issue if a file exists at a specified path. The content of the issue will be taken from the file as-is. If project variables are specified, a card will be added to a project. If the file does not exist the action exits silently.
