We have dozens of GitHub Actions that are Open Source and well-maintained. Check them out!
Fork of jaxxstorm/action-install-gh-release modified to install multiple releases at once and adopted to Cloud Posse's GitHub Actions standards.
Define set of GH releases to install as config input following the format:
-
Short format:
acme/repo-1: latest
or
acme/repo-1:which are equivalent
-
Long format:
acme/repo-4: tag: v0.1.0 platform: linux arch: amd64 ## Seek for `(tar.gz|zip|tgz)` archived asset (default "extension") extension-matching: true
Long format supports the following parameters:
| Name | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| skip | Set true to skip this release |
false |
| tag | Tag containing binary to install | latest |
| platform | OS Platform to match in release package | {platform of current runner} |
| arch | OS Architecture to match in release package | {arch of current runner} |
| extension-matching | Set true to match extension in release package |
false |
| extension | Extension match pattern | tar.gz|zip|tgz |
| rename-to | When installing a release that is not an archive, e.g. a pure binary, this controls how the downloaded release asset is renamed. | null |
| chmod | When installing a release that is not an archive, e.g. a pure binary, this controls how the downloaded release asset is chmod'd. | null |
Important
In Cloud Posse's examples, we avoid pinning GitHub Actions to specific versions to prevent discrepancies between the documentation and the latest released versions. However, for your own projects, we strongly advise pinning each GitHub Action to the exact version you're using. This practice ensures the stability of your workflows. Additionally, we recommend implementing a systematic approach for updating versions to avoid unexpected changes.
