 [ReportGenerator] converts coverage reports generated by OpenCover, dotCover, Visual Studio, NCover, Cobertura, JaCoCo, Clover, gcov or lcov into human readable reports in various formats.  
 
 This action does not generate the code coverage reports itself, those must be created by a previous action.
