Actions CI CircuitPython Install Script

The purpose of this repo is to create a centrally managed dependency install script for all Adafruit CircuitPython Library Github Actions. This will allow us to easily update the install steps without having to manually or programatically update 200+ GitHub workflows.

We have a Learn guide that you can use to follow along to using GitHub Actions.

Using in Workflow Files

To use the install script in workflow files, you'll need to check out this repository, followed by running the install.sh bash script.

You can clone and checkout this repo in a GitHub Actions workflow file using actions/checkout:

- name: Checkout tools repo
  uses: actions/checkout@v3
  with:
    repository: adafruit/actions-ci-circuitpython-libs
    path: actions-ci

In the example above, the repo is now cloned as actions-ci.

The dependencies can then be downloaded using install.sh:

- name: Install dependencies
  run: |
    source action-ci/install.sh    

This will handle installing all the needed dependencies for the given library.
