Apify Push Actor GitHub Action

What is Apify?

Apify is a full-stack web scraping and automation platform where developers can build, deploy, and publish serverless microapps called Actors.

This GitHub action lets you push an Actor to the Apify platform, e.g. after every release. You can even easily make a beta release after each commit.
