Require a project-specific config as repository variable #2002
Description
In preparation for supporting projects other than Git, let's stop using the defaultConfig and enforce an explicit configuration on the specific gitgitgadget-workflows repository where the GitHub workflows are supposed to run.
The idea is to store those project-specific settings in the CONFIG repository variable, in JSON format, and consume it in all of the GitHub workflow runs in that repository.
Additionally, that same repository variable will also be retrieved and integrated into gitgitgadget-github-app whenever it gets deployed as Azure Function. That way, also the GitHub App won't use hard-coded project-specific settings any longer.
The current CONFIG looks like this, by the way:
{
