[Feature Request] Options to use colcon user configuration override about action-ros-ci HOT 4 OPEN

This is a reasonable enhancement.
Some questions:

• Can this file also be hosted in a gist or should this be local to the repo it's running in only?
• Would it be better to add this feature to setup-ros-docker and improve that as well?

I don't think colcon can take a URL here: https://github.com/colcon/colcon-defaults/blob/78f808ef9705a15a52d00b0adfee342d1390b348/colcon_defaults/argument_parser/defaults.py#L72

But I think developers can add another step before using this action to copy their gist?

Interesting. Can you elaborate more on what's the improvement you envision?

What I meant is doing something similar to action-ros-ci where we allow users to pass a file or a URL (see this for example).

Thought you might have some insight as to whether there would have to be a docker specific implementation if we want to add this feature to a docker action.

Ah sure. That's something doable.
