Personally, I tend to avoid relying on any Github infrastructure for
the erofs-utils codebase.  Previously it already checked enwik8
correctness in the Github CI, see:
https://github.com/erofs/erofsnightly/blob/main/.github/workflows/smoking.yml#L185

If you would like to add a Github CI for Linux codebase, please
update
https://github.com/erofs/erofsnightly/actions

nightly CI instead.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
