# List Folder Action
This action lists the folders in the given directory and returns them as a json formatted list.
This is useful for using in subsequent jobs as the matrix command so you can run a job per sub folder.
This is currently a simple composite action. It ensures that all tools needed are installed by running `apt install` commands. Therefore it is advised to run this inside a debian/ubuntu based runner or container.
## Inputs
| Name | Description | Required |

## Outputs
