# go-install

This action builds and caches the binary of actions written in go.

The action adds the tool installation path (usually `$HOME/.local/actions-go/bin`) to the PATH.

It will first check whether there is a pre-built version of the tool cached.

If a the tool is not found locally, it will set-up go using [actions/setup-go](https://github.com/actions/setup-go)

and build the tool using `go install`.

# Usage

See [`action.yaml`](https://github.com/actions-go/go-install/blob/main/action.yml)

```

steps:

    - uses: 'github.com/actions-go/go-install@main'

      with:

        module: "github.com/actions-go/go-install/cmd/hello@main"

```

The action accepts fine-tuning the `go-version` input used for [`setup-go`](https://github.com/actions/setup-go) and supports all its variants [semver](https://github.com/actions/setup-go#v3), [stable](https://github.com/actions/setup-go#using-stableoldstable-aliases) and the [basic](https://github.com/actions/setup-go#basic) usage.
