feature request: comment on PR when automated commits are made

[scarf005]

Hi, could the app add comments to PR as well using parameters such as comment?

Rationale

I feel this needs a warning somewhere in the PR template or the contributor docs. If the bot pushes a commit to the branch, and a contributor is fairly new to git, they may not know they'll need to pull the changes before pushing their own.

Automated commits may cause confusion for newcomers to Git, leading to merge conflicts. Adding comments with these commits could guide them on how to resolve this issue. I considered the approach in #6, but it requires pull_request_target, which goes against the core purpose of autofix-ci. I'd like to open a PR for this feature, but it seems the API server code is in a private repository.

Hi,

I implemented this at https://github.com/autofix-ci/action/tree/comments, see mhils/autofixer#8 for an example. Does that match what you were looking for?
