Why || true here? Should we let it error here if install fails?

Agree, let's fail if this fails for any reason

| When creating a merge request, a GitHub action should automatically regenerate the README based on your metadata. To test it yourself, you can run the python script `.utils/generate_readme.py` in the root of this repo. | ||
| 4. Regenerate the main README.md by running `python .utils/generate_readme.py` from the root of the repo (install `.utils/requirements.txt` if needed). |

Might be worth fleshing out the "install requirements" in a separate section, though I know there are multiple ways to do it.

I added a new section with the pip command I use for installing requirements

I think this is limiting the action to only run when these files have changed, right? But we want to check that the readme is up-to-date whenever content is added, so we should probably remove these.

I removed this and made it run on all pull requests

This PR adds a GitHub action that checks that the main README.md file is up to date. If someone forgets to autogenerate the files or modifies the file by hand, the action will fail.
