Install GNU Guix (GitHub Action)

.. image:: https://github.com/PromyLOPh/guix-install-action/workflows/test/badge.svg

This GitHub action installs GNU Guix, a functional package manager and distribution, inside a GitHub Action runner.

It can be used to build Guix packages themselves, but also to create deliverables like self-contained relocatable binaries, Docker images or SquashFS filesystems. See guix pack <https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/guix.html#Invoking-guix-pack>__ for more information.

This repository’s test action <https://github.com/PromyLOPh/guix-install-action/blob/v1/.github/workflows/test.yml>__ showcases the available options.

Inputs

:channels: A Scheme expression that describes the Guix channels to use. See manual <https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/guix.html#Specifying-Additional-Channels>__ :pullAfterInstall: Run guix pull after installing Guix. If set to false the latest Guix package as defined in (gnu packages package-management) will be used, which is older than the git master.

Outputs

:channels: The exact channel(s) that were pulled, with commit identifiers. The output can be used as an input for this action to reproduce a previous run.
