- Automatic image compression in pull requests - Alex Brandes
- Alex has implemented an action that compresses images within the PR once they are added.
- Non-blocking error if the image is not compressed
- Appears as though it is dependent on where the pull is coming from (forked vs main repo)
- Still encourage users to compress images prior to submission
- This is to catch anything that is not already compressed or that can be compressed further
- Thanks Alex for implementing this!
