This action is deprecated. Suggested replacement actions:
ruby/setup-ruby - use for installation of Ruby builds
MSP-Greg/setup-ruby-pkgs - use when compile dependencies are needed
The action is compatible with actions/setup-ruby, and can be used with all OS's.
When the OS is Windows, it installs current Ruby versions, and also allows one to run jobs based on Ruby 2.3 or master. Simple MYS2/DevKit operations are also included.
Othere OS's use the standard GitHub Actions Ruby versions.
The following runs 12 jobs (3 OS's, 4 Rubies). On Windows, it updates the MSYS2/DevKit gcc tools and installs the proper version of OpenSSL.

This repo contains a GitHub action that will install current Ruby x64-mingw32 versions for use with GitHub Actions Windows images.
As of 2019-10-28, the versions available are:
actions-ruby default
Ruby 2.3.3 not available
Ruby 2.4.9 2.4.6
Ruby 2.5.7 2.5.5
Ruby 2.6.5 2.6.3
Ruby master is also available, use '9.9.x' in the matrix. At present, it is hosted on Appveyor, where it is built three times a day. I intend to move it to GitHub in the near future.
All versions except master are RubyInstaller2 versions, with the html docs removed. Removing the docs decreases the number of extracted files & folders by approx 2,400 items.
The matrix is compatible with the standard actions/setup-ruby@v1 action published by GitHub.
Actions' current mingw Rubies were built with gcc 8.3.0. The DevKit/MSYS2 installs contain gcc 7.2.0. A new or updated MSYS2 installation uses gcc is 9.2.0.
The Ubuntu 16.04 Rubies were built with gcc 5.4.0, Ubuntu 18.04 Rubies were built with gcc 7.4.0.
So, if you'd like to use a curent gcc compiler, updating the MSYS2 gcc tools to 9.2.0 is the easiest way to do so.
For reference, see MSP-Greg/github-actions-ruby-info for information on current GitHub Actions Rubies. Ubuntu 16.04 & 18.04, macOS, and windows-latest are shown.
Ruby 2.3.3 was built with a proprietary version of MSYS. Generally, an *.so file shouldn't be incompatible with other files built with different tools.
Since the Ruby versions may change (think Christmas), using master means that use in CI doesn't need to change versions every year...
