Set up Cygwin
=============

[![Test](https://github.com/egor-tensin/setup-cygwin/workflows/Test/badge.svg)](https://github.com/egor-tensin/setup-cygwin/actions?query=workflow%3ATest)

This is a GitHub action that sets up Cygwin in your workflow run.

1. Installs Cygwin.
2. Installs any additional packages specified.

Use it in your workflow like this:

    - name: Set up Cygwin
      uses: egor-tensin/setup-cygwin@v2
      with:
        platform: x64
        packages: cmake python3

`x64` is the default value for the `platform` parameter and can be omitted.
Use `x86` if you want to install the 32-bit Cygwin.

Specify any additional packages to be installed as a space-separated list in
the `packages` parameter.

Set the installation directory using the `install-dir` parameter (C:\tools\cygwin
is the default).

The `CYGWIN` environment variable is set to an empty string by default.
Provide a custom value using the `env` parameter.
