Blame alert: Tags users whose code has been altered

My Workflow

GitHub action which tags users whose code has been altered in a PR. It uses git blame to determine who is the author of the code which has changed.

This alerts the specific collaborator responsible of creating the code in the first place and makes him/her pay extra attention.

Example

User1 has made a new PR to a repo which is using molleer/blame-alert. He/she has deleted a few lines of code which User2 had written. When the PR is created, this comment is added to the PR by molleer/blame-alert.

If User1 only changes the code which he/she has added since before, molleer/blame-alert will not add an alert comment.
