Ownership

As of 2022/02/15 ownership of this project has been transferred to my personal account nick-fields from my work account nick-invision due to me leaving InVision. I am the author and have been the primary maintainer since day one and will continue to maintain this as needed.

No immediate action is required if you rely on this as GitHub handles ownership transfers pretty well. Any current workflow reference to nick-invision/assert-action@<whatever> will still work, but will just pull from nick-fields/assert-action@<whatever> instead. Who knows how long that will work, so at some point it would be beneficial to update your workflows to reflect the new owner accordingly.
