Demo

[amis92]

There's a slash-command available to try out the action. Simply comment on this issue with /demo in the first line and a PowerShell script in the following lines. If your comment will contain a code-block (fenced or not), contents of it will be executed instead of whole comment body - and it'll look better! :)

For example, comment with:

/demo

```powershell
return (1 + 1)
```

You should get a result (and/or an error) in a comment that will follow.

ℹ Please note, for security $github.token is not available in the demo script. It's available all right in normal action executions. :)
