Can't use with GitHub actions

[Destaq]

I followed the instructions in the README and generated a file named black.yml under .github/workflows/. However, when I pushed to master, an error occurred:

Could not find file '/home/runner/work/_actions/_temp_5819819e-a4d4-412a-8e33-e24210fc984b/_staging/psf-black-6bedb5c/docs/contributing_to_black.md'.

This means I am unable to use black for GitHub CI. Is there any solution to this?

This is a duplicate of #1520.

A workaround is to point to master (not advisable as it's a moving target), or better, pick a specific commit. See:

Hi @Destaq.

So the problem here is that since stable, we have restructured the documentation and code which probably messed up with the paths. The solution to this issue is a new release which the stable branch tracks. There is currently an issue open for a new release: #1583. So unfortunately, you will be unable to use black stable for GitHub Actions until a new release is available. There is two immediate solutions, 1. use Black on master: psf/black@master, but I don't recommend that since it can be prone to instability, or 2. Use the newest commit that works: psf/black@fcf97961061982656a1384ecc1628e217a52a88c

Also, duplicate of #1520.
