Description
:clipboard: **Description**

:link: **Data**
Implementation by [EndBug](https://github.com/EndBug): https://github.com/EndBug/api/blob/master/api/github-actions/used-by.ts
Example usage with also useful click action: https://github.com/EndBug/add-and-commit/blob/0c4298a18d3a9d33e3b879c7b73b4a457547d949/README.md
:microphone: **Motivation**
It would give a better measurement about usage than stars do.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the referenced implementation in api/github-actions/used-by.ts and the example usage in the add-and-commit README. Check how this data could be exposed as a Shields badge and define completion as a badge showing the number of repositories using the GitHub Action, with the useful click action described in the example.
