Github Action for linting C/C++ code integrating clang-tidy and clang-format\nto collect feedback provided in the form of\n[`file-annotations`][file-annotations], [`thread-comments`][thread-comments],\nworkflow [`step-summary`][step-summary], and Pull Request reviews (with\n[`tidy-review`][tidy-review] or [`format-review`][format-review]).\n\n## Usage\n\nCreate a new GitHub Actions workflow in your project, e.g. at [.github/workflows/cpp-linter.yml](https://github.com/cpp-linter/cpp-linter-action/blob/main/.github/workflows/cpp-linter.yml)\n\nThe content of the file should be in the following format.\n\n```yaml\n    steps:\n      - uses: actions/checkout@v5\n      - uses: cpp-linter/cpp-linter-action@v2\n        id: linter\n        env:\n          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}\n        with:\n          style: 'file'  # Use .clang-format config file\n          tidy-checks: '' # Use .clang-tidy config file\n          # only 'update' a single comment in a pull request thread.\n          thread-comments: ${{ github.event_name == 'pull_request' \u0026\u0026 'update' }}\n      - name: Fail fast?!\n        if: steps.linter.outputs.checks-failed \u003e 0\n        run: exit 1\n```\n\nFor all explanations of our available input parameters and output variables, see our\n[Inputs and Outputs

show C/C++ Linter Action status with a badge in your repository README\n\nExample\n\n```markdown\n[![cpp-linter](https://github.com/cpp-linter/cpp-linter-action/actions/workflows/cpp-linter.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/cpp-linter/cpp-linter-action/actions/workflows/cpp-linter.yml)\n```\n\n[![cpp-linter](https://github.com/cpp-linter/cpp-linter-action/actions/workflows/cpp-linter.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/cpp-linter/cpp-linter-action/actions/workflows/cpp-linter.yml)\n\n## Have question or feedback?\n\nTo provide feedback (requesting a feature or reporting a bug) please post to [issues](https://github.com/cpp-linter/cpp-linter-action/issues).\n\n## Required tools installed\n\nAs of v2.16.0, this action uses\n\n- [nushell] for cross-platform compatible scripting\n- [uv] for driving a Python virtual environment\n\nThis action installs [nushell] and [uv] automatically.\nOnly [nushell] is added to the PATH environment variable.\n[uv], and any standalone Python distribution it downloads, are not added to the PATH environment variable.\n\n### On Linux runners\n\nWe only support Linux runners using a Debian-based Linux OS (like Ubuntu and many others).\nThis is because we first try to use the `apt` package manager to install clang tools.\n\nLinux workflows that use a specific [`container`][gh-container-syntax] should ensure that\nthe following are installed:\n\n- GLIBC (v2.32 or later)\n- `wget` or `curl`\n- `lsb-release` (required by LLVM-provided install script)\n- `software-properties-common` (required by LLVM-provided install script)\n- `gnupg` (required by LLVM-provided install script)\n\n```shell\napt-get update\napt-get install -y libc6 wget lsb-release software-properties-common gnupg\n```\n\nOtherwise, [nushell] and/or the LLVM-provided bash script will fail to run.\n\n### On macOS runners\n\nThe specified `version` of `clang-format` and `clang-tidy` is installed via Homebrew.\nFailing that, we attempt to use static binaries that we built ourselves;\nsee [cpp-linter/clang-tools-pip] and [cpp-linter/clang-tools-static-binaries] projects for more detail.\n\n### On Windows runners\n\nFor Windows runners, we only use clang tools built as static binaries.\nSee [cpp-linter/clang-tools-pip] and [cpp-linter/clang-tools-static-binaries] projects for more detail.\n\n## License\n\nThe scripts and documentation in this project are released under the [MIT
