How to Use It

Add a workflow file to your Git repository, for example, at .github/workflows/pbuild.yml:

name: Single package build

on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          lfs: true

      # Call your custom action template
      - name: Run Pbuild Template
        uses: adrianschroeter/pbuild@main
        with:
          dist: 'tumbleweed'

      # Export build artifacts
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v7
        with:
          name: tumbleweed-x86_64-logfile
          path: _build.tumbleweed.x86_64/_log
          archive: false
          
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v7
        with:
          name: tumbleweed-x86_64-rpm
          path: _build.tumbleweed.x86_64/bc-1*.x86_64.rpm
          archive: false
          
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v7
        with:
          name: tumbleweed-x86_64-everything.zip
          path: _build.tumbleweed.x86_64

💡 Build Type Selection: > For project builds, the working directory must include a _pbuild or _manifest file. If neither file is present, the action will default to a single package build.
