Showing the number of lines changed as a comment

[windybranch]

It would be a nice feature to see the number of lines changed as a comment on the PR so that the reviewer doesn't need to check the results of the GitHub Action.

you can do something like

  comment_fail:
    needs: check_pr_size
    if: failure()
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Comment on PR when PR size check fails
        uses: peter-evans/create-or-update-comment@v4
        with:
          issue-number: ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}
          body: |
            **❌ PR is too big !**
            **The number of lines changed in this PR (${{ needs.check_pr_size.outputs.total_lines_changed }}) exceeds the allowed limit (${{ env.PR_SIZE_LIMIT }}) lines.**
            **⚡ Consider breaking it into smaller PRs to improve review quality and avoid merge conflicts**

Thanks for the suggestion! That's a good workaround for now but I'll leave this open as it would be nicer to integrate into the existing action.
