My CLI Action

Description

My CLI Action is a robust Docker-based wrapper to execute your CLI tool within a consistent, minimal, and secure environment. It forwards arguments to your CLI and exposes the path to generated artifacts for downstream steps.

Inputs

• cli-arguments: Arguments to pass to the CLI tool. Optional. Default: empty string.

Outputs

• cli-output-path: Path to the directory containing generated artifacts produced by your CLI.

Example Workflow Usage

name: Run My CLI
on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]

jobs:
  run-cli:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Check out repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Run My CLI Action
        id: run-cli
        uses: your-org/my-cli-action@v1
        with:
          cli-arguments: "--foo bar --output-format json"

      - name: Upload CLI artifacts
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
        with:
          name: cli-output
          path: ${{ steps.run-cli.outputs.cli-output-path }}

Notes:

• Replace your-org/my-cli-action@v1 with the correct owner/repo and ref for this action.
• Ensure entrypoint.sh contains the concrete command to run your CLI and writes outputs into the directory indicated by cli-output-path.
