Development

Install the dependencies

$ npm install

Run the tests

$ npm test

Run lint

$ npm run lint

Distribution

Packaging assembles the code into one file that can be checked in to Git, enabling fast and reliable execution and preventing the need to check in node_modules. Packaging the action will create a packaged action in the dist/ folder.

Run prepare

$ npm run prepare

Since the packaged index.js is run from the dist/ folder, it needs to be added

$ git add dist/

GitHub Actions will run the entry point from the action.yml

runs:
  using: "node16"
  main: "dist/index.js" # <== entry point

To do everything at once (lint, prepare and test) do

$ npm run all
