This repository contains a simple GitHub Action implementation, which allows you to build your project, in a repository-specific fashion.
There are two steps required to use this action:
- Enable the action inside your repository.
- This might mean creating a file
.github/workflows/release.yml
which is where the action is invoked for release-steps, for example.
- This might mean creating a file
- Add your project-specific
.github/build
script.- This is the script which will actually carry out your build-steps.
- A C-project might just run
make
. - A golang-based project might run
go build .
multiple times for different architectures.
- A C-project might just run
- This is the script which will actually carry out your build-steps.
This configuration runs the script .github/build
every time a release is made of your project, and is defined in the file .github/workflows/release.yml
:
on: release
name: Handle Release
jobs:
generate:
name: Create release-artifacts
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@master
- name: Generate
uses: skx/github-action-build@master
We assume that the .github/build
script generated a series of binaries, and these can be acccessed by later steps in your workflow. For example you might use my uploading-action:
