new feature - scan a set of paths

[gabriel-milan]

Hi there.

Is there a possibility we add support for specific paths scanning?

Example:

- id: files
  name: Get modified files
  uses: jitterbit/get-changed-files@v1
  paths:
    - tracked_files/
    - tracked_files_2/

IMHO it would be a great feature. Awesome project btw, thank you for sharing!

Hi @gabriel-milan!
I also would like to have path filter and filter for exclusion.
I think this can be made with regex and should be added to documentation.

+1, I'd appreciate this feature too!

The functionality to filter was added by a fork: Ana06/get-changed-files.

The fork supports pull_request_target, allows to filter files using regular expressions, removes the ahead check and considers renamed modified files as modified.
