GitHub Action for running pytest commands

Each time that new code is pushed into your repo, you can have a pytest command automatically run.

$ pytest -h

usage: pytest [options] [file_or_dir] [file_or_dir] [...]

positional arguments:
  file_or_dir

general:
  -k EXPRESSION         only run tests which match the given substring
                        expression. An expression is a python evaluatable
                        expression where all names are substring-matched
                        against test names and their parent classes. Example:
                        -k 'test_method or test_other' matches all test
                        functions and classes whose name contains
                        'test_method' or 'test_other', while -k 'not
                        test_method' matches those that don't contain
                        'test_method' in their names. Additionally keywords
                        are matched to classes and functions containing extra
                        names in their 'extra_keyword_matches' set, as well as
                        functions which have names assigned directly to them.
  -m MARKEXPR           only run tests matching given mark expression.
                        example: -m 'mark1 and not mark2'.
  --markers             show markers (builtin, plugin and per-project ones).
  -x, --exitfirst       exit instantly on first error or failed test.
  --maxfail=num         exit after first num failures or errors.
  --strict              marks not registered in configuration file raise
                        errors.
  -c file               load configuration from `file` instead of trying to
                        locate one of the implicit configuration files.
  --continue-on-collection-errors
                        Force test execution even if collection errors occur.
  --rootdir=ROOTDIR     Define root directory for tests. Can be relative path:
                        'root_dir', './root_dir', 'root_dir/another_dir/';
                        absolute path: '/home/user/root_dir'; path with
                        variables: '$HOME/root_dir'.
  --fixtures, --funcargs
                        show available fixtures, sorted by plugin appearance
                        (fixtures with leading '_' are only shown with '-v')
  --fixtures-per-test   show fixtures per test
  --import-mode={prepend,append}
                        prepend/append to sys.path when importing test
                        modules, default is to prepend.
  --pdb                 start the interactive Python debugger on errors or
                        KeyboardInterrupt.
  --pdbcls=modulename:classname
                        start a custom interactive Python debugger on errors.
                        For example:
                        --pdbcls=IPython.terminal.debugger:TerminalPdb
  --trace               Immediately break when running each test.
  --capture=method      per-test capturing method: one of fd|sys|no.
  -s                    shortcut for --capture=no.
  --runxfail            run tests even if they are marked xfail
  --lf, --last-failed   rerun only the tests that failed at the last run (or
                        all if none failed)
  --ff, --failed-first  run all tests but run the last failures first. This
                        may re-order tests and thus lead to repeated fixture
                        setup/teardown
  --nf, --new-first     run tests from new files first, then the rest of the
                        tests sorted by file mtime
  --cache-show          show cache contents, don't perform collection or tests
  --cache-clear         remove all cache contents at start of test run.
  --lfnf={all,none}, --last-failed-no-failures={all,none}
                        change the behavior when no test failed in the last
                        run or no information about the last failures was
                        found in the cache
  --sw, --stepwise      exit on test fail and continue from last failing test
                        next time
  --stepwise-skip       ignore the first failing test but stop on the next
                        failing test
