Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There is a docker container run for Linux, but the action is not available on Windows.

Describe the solution you'd like
I am performing matrix builds and wish to run DevSkim through a single pipeline without conditional logic

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Installing the CLI, writing a shell script that can invoke with the rules, output a sarif
  • Hooking Exec in MSBuild post build so that the analyzer is run as part of local developer build
  • Diverging the Linux pipeline to run DevSkim and skipping on Windows

Additional context

Research direction

Start by inspecting the existing Linux Docker-based GitHub Action and the linked moq.analyzers pull request for its Windows-related approach. Done means DevSkim can run in a Windows matrix job through the same pipeline without conditional logic, while preserving the action's existing analysis output.
