      # This step is meant to dynamically create a JSON containing the values of each crate
      # available in this repo in the root directory. We use `cargo tree` to accomplish this task.
      #
      # The result from `cargo tree` is then transform to JSON values between double quotes, 
      # and separated by commas, then added to a `crates.txt` and assigned to a $JSON_CRATES variable.
      #
      # A JSON object is created and assigned to a $MATRIX variable, which is use to create an output
