I am working on a package and trying to setup testing, code coverage for the package.  
Got lot of advice from the following thread [Easy workflow file for setting up GitHub Actions CI for your Julia package](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/easy-workflow-file-for-setting-up-github-actions-ci-for-your-julia-package/49765)

Trying to use Github actions for running tests and getting code coverage this public repo.  
This is my first package, so i did expect some learning curve in setting up the CI. After runs i get these codecov reports that have broken links, patch images and warning messages but also coverage info. [Reference PR](https://github.com/bicepjai/PortfolioOpt.jl/pull/10) where the CI was run

Can someone help me finish this CI codecov setup ?

The CI.yml file can be seen [here](https://github.com/bicepjai/PortfolioOpt.jl/blob/Initial_setup/.github/workflows/CI.yml) I have also pasted it here

Watching this video by @tim.holy made me understand that nothing was wrong.
