Visual Studio shell

===================

[![Test](https://github.com/egor-tensin/vs-shell/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/egor-tensin/vs-shell/actions/workflows/test.yml)

This GitHub action sets up a Visual Studio shell in your workflow run.

This is similar to running one of the vcvars*.bat scripts or launching one of

the "Command Tools for VS" Start Menu shortcuts, but it's also shell-agnostic.

Use it in your workflow like this:

    - name: Set up Visual Studio shell

      uses: egor-tensin/vs-shell@v2

      with:

        arch: x64

* `x64` is the default value for the `arch` parameter and can be omitted.

Use `x86` (or `Win32`) if you want to build 32-bit binaries.

API

---

| Input | Value | Default | Description

| ----- | ----- | ------- | -----------

| arch  | x64   | ✓       | Build 64-bit executables.

|       | x86   |         | Build 32-bit executables.

|       | Win32 |         | Build 32-bit executables.

The action passes the environment variables set by one of the vcvars*.bat

scripts to the calling job.
