# actions-go/build

A simple github action to build actions written in golang.

The best use of this action is to be embedded in a composite action.

```yaml

name: 'My go action'

description: My action is awesome

author: 'John Doe'

runs:

  using: "composite"

  steps:

    - id: build-action

      name: Build go action

      uses: actions-go/build@v1

      with:

        action_path: ${{ github.action_path }} # specifies the working directory for go build (usually the folder of your `go.mod` files).

        action: ${{ github.action }}

        go-version: "1.21" # defaults to 1.21

        go-main: '.' # defaults to '.'

    - name: Run my action

      shell: bash

      run: ${{ steps.build-action.outputs.install-path }}

```

The action is built in `${action_path}/${action}-(Darwin|Linux|Windows)-(x86_64|arm64)`.

If the build path already exists and is executable, the pre-built action will be used.

This means that you can create releases with a few committed files:

`action.yaml`, `${action}-(Darwin|linux)-(x86_64|arm64)` and `Readme.md`

and drop all your sources to avoid distributing your source code and re-building the action every time.
