# Setup Earthly - GitHub Action

This repository contains an action for use with GitHub Actions, which installs [earthly](https://github.com/earthly/earthly) with a semver-compatible version.

The package is installed into `/home/runner/.earthly` (or equivalent on Windows) and the `bin` subdirectory is added to the PATH.

## Usage

Full example:

```yml
name: GitHub Actions CI

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  tests:
    name: example earthly test
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: earthly/actions-setup@v1
        with:
          version: "latest" # or pin to an specific version, e.g. "v0.6.10"
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Docker login # to avoid dockerhub rate-limiting
        run: docker login --username "${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_USERNAME }}" --password "${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_PASSWORD }}"
      - name: what version is installed?
        run: earthly --version
      - name: run the earthly hello world
        run: earthly github.com/earthly/hello-world:main+hello
```

Install the latest version of the earthly:

```yaml
- name: Install earthly

```

Install a specific version of the earthly:

```yaml

Install a version that adheres to a semver range

```yaml
- name: Install earthly
  uses: bloominlabs/setup-earthly@v1
  with:
    version: ^0.6.0
```
