April "after the Fool's" 2023 in Darker: Addressing GitHub Actions and VSCode formatting issues

[akaihola]

This month saw some important bug fixes and discussions around Darker's integration with other tools. We addressed an issue with the GitHub Actions workflow where the commit-range action wasn't working correctly in release branches (PR #486). This fix resolves problems reported in issues #489 and #485, ensuring smoother CI/CD processes for projects using Darker.

A community member reported an issue with Darker not formatting code in VSCode when isort was enabled (issue #488). While the problem couldn't be consistently reproduced and was eventually closed, it sparked a discussion about potential interactions between Darker, isort, and VSCode's formatting settings.

On the technical side, we encountered and resolved a bug related to Git subprocess calls when dealing with repositories containing a large number of files, even if they were gitignored (issue #490). This fix improves Darker's performance and reliability when working with complex project structures.

Get involved!
