This is a simple CLA bot that can be used in a GitHub action to automate the process of new contributors signing a Contributors License Agreement.
CLA signers can be added to a cla-signers.txt file in the GitHub repository or to a Google Spreadsheet generated by a Google Form.
Once signers have completed the form (or the maintainer has updated the cla-signers.txt file), then anyone can re-check the CLA on a PR with a comment that begins with @cla-bot check.
