Walkthrough

The changes introduce a new composite action for upgrading pip on Windows, defined in a new GitHub Actions file. Two existing workflows now invoke this custom action instead of running the pip upgrade command directly. This centralizes and simplifies the pip upgrade process on Windows systems by encapsulating the logic in a reusable action.

Changes

File(s)	Change Summary
.github/actions/upgrade-windows-pip/action.yml	New composite action added to upgrade pip on Windows with branding and a conditional execution step.
.github/workflows/CI-DOCS.yml, .github/workflows/Tests.yml	Updated pip upgrade steps to use the custom action (uses: ./.github/actions/upgrade-windows-pip) instead of inline commands.

Poem

I'm a rabbit with hops so bright,
Celebrating a code fix done just right!
Pip now upgrades with a single, neat call,
In Windows it works, no fuss at all.
With a twitch of my nose, I cheer this code ball!

.github/workflows/CI-DOCS.yml (1)

54-56: Centralizing pip upgrade via custom action improves maintainability.
Replacing the direct pip upgrade command with the reusable action (./.github/actions/upgrade-windows-pip) simplifies the workflow and ensures consistent handling of the upgrade process on Windows.

.github/workflows/Tests.yml (1)

93-94: Consistent integration of the pip upgrade action in CI-TESTS.
The modification to use the custom action for upgrading pip on Windows in the Tests workflow enhances consistency with the CI-DOCS workflow. Ensure that this action behaves as expected across different test environments.

🪧 Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.
