The get-cmake action for downloading and caching CMake and ninja binaries on the GitHub agents.

Restores from cache, or downloads and caches CMake v3.21.1 and Ninja v1.10.2. Works for x64 on Linux/macOS/Windows.

Flowchart of get-cmake:

If cache hit occurs, CMake and ninja are restored from cache in less than 1 second;
If cache miss occurs, the action downloads and installs CMake and ninja, then caches both automatically with GitHub's @actions/cache APIs;
Adds to PATH the CMake and ninja executables;

Quickstart

    #   path: <path>            <-----= YOU DO NOT NEED THIS

    - name: Get latest CMake and ninja
      # Using 'latest' branch, the most recent CMake and ninja are installed.
      uses: lukka/get-cmake@latest        ⟸ THIS IS THE ONE LINER YOU NEED
          
    # If you need to pin your workflow to specific CMake version you can use the 'tag' to select the version.
    - name: Get specific version CMake, v3.21.1
      uses: lukka/get-cmake@v3.21.1   ⟸ THIS IS THE ONE LINER YOU NEED
