steps:
- uses: ok-nick/setup-aftman@v0.4.2
  with:
    version: v1.0.0 # name of git tag in aftman (uses latest tag by default)
    path: some_dir/my_project # path to project dir containing `aftman.toml` ("." (current dir) by default)
    cache: false # whether to enable binary caching between runs (false by default)
    token: ${{ github.token }} # GitHub token to bypass rate limit (${{ github.token }} set by default)

Inputs

version

The git tag of aftman to install from releases and use. By default this input will be assigned to the latest version of aftman.

path

The path to the directory containing the aftman.toml to install tools from. The default is the current directory (.).

cache

Enable to cache tools installed by aftman, the default value of this input is false. Note, in many cases enabling this feature will slow down the setup-aftman action.

There are a few reasons you may choose to enable caching:

• Action runs often, causing the GitHub rate-limit to be reached
• A large amount of tools to install
• Server downloading from is slow

In any case, it is recommended to benchmark before enabling this feature.

token

Set to a GitHub token to be used by aftman to increase the GitHub rate-limit. Note, these two options, ${{ github.token }} and ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}, are equivalent and passed by default. Thus, you do not need to specify this parameter unless you are using a token different from the owner of the repository.
