Inputs

Provide variables with the ${{ steps.*.with }} parameter:

• latest(boolean) optional: Should the action fetch the latest release as possible? Defaults to true.
• version(string) optional: The NVGT version you want to install if not latest. Eg, 0.89.1_beta. Defaults to none. This input will be ignored if either latest or dev is true.
• dev(boolean) optional: Toggles whether it should download latest development version.
• add_to_path(boolean) optional: NVGT installed directory should be added to path directory. Defaults to true.
• tools(string) optional: A list of tools to install, see below. This can install multiple tools by separating them with lines. Each tool can optionally add a tag, i.e. tool_name@tag_name, where tag name is one of the following:
  • latest: Represents the latest possible release. This is equivalent to just tool_name without a tag.
  • dev: Represents the bleeding edge development version.
  • Otherwise, the name after the @ character is considered a version, for example, 1.0.0, v1.0.0 etc.

Outputs

Use the ${{ steps.<id>.outputs.<var_name> }} to retrieve the output. The following output variables are available:

• path(string): Path to the NVGT installed directory.
