Add a linter check with github actions

[Pradhvan]

• Add a linter to the project. Can it be black?
• Add a respective GitHub action for lining analysis.

Hey @Pradhvan, I am new to open source and will like to contribute to this project, can you guide me on what needs to be done.

Hi @slayer321 there is no GitHub action running with the repo.

So it would be good if you could add a GitHub action that checks linting errors when a new commit. This could also be used when a PR is made from any branch to master and on a successful merge to master.

You can take a reference from this post ignore the step with poetry and tests. The general idea would be the same.

Hey @Pradhvan , thank you for adding the blog , I read it and also did my own research and I come up with this workflow gist . This is the first time I'm working with linter and Github Action so I don't know weather it is correct or not . Let me know what needs to be updated.

@slayer321 yes, something similar to this. You can create a branch and add it to the GitHub action. Test if that works and create a PR if everything works out.

Thank you for helping out. 😄
