# GitHub Action: pipx
GitHub Action that installs Python commands using [pipx](https://pipx.pypa.io/).
Everything that pip(x) downloads is
[cached](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/caching-dependencies-to-speed-up-workflows).
This action is a simpler (50-ish lines) alternative to
[threeal/pipx-install-action](https://github.com/threeal/pipx-install-action),
with a slightly different caching behaviour:
* pipx-install-action caches the installed pipx environments, but lets the
caches go stale—one needs to explicitly specify a package version to avoid
using a stale cache
* gh-pipx (this one) caches only pip's cache, so the latest versions requested
are installed; the cache only speeds up downloads of pip metadata and wheels
## Usage
```yaml
jobs:
somejob:
steps:
# …
- uses: liskin/gh-pipx@v1
with:
packages: >-
ruff
'isort[colors]'
'mypy >= 1.0'
# …
```
### Parameters
* `packages`
* Space-separated list of package specifications to install
* (Required)
* `cache-date-format`
* Date format string used as cache key (new cache will be created whenever
the output date changes)
* (Default: `%Y-%m`)
