Visual Studio shell
===================

![Test](https://github.com/egor-tensin/vs-shell/workflows/Test/badge.svg)

This is a GitHub action that sets up a Visual Studio shell in your workflow
run.
This is similar to running one of the vcvars*.bat scripts or launching one of
the "Command Tools for VS" Start Menu shortcuts, but it's also shell-agnostic.
Use it in your workflow like this:

    - name: Set up Visual Studio shell
      uses: egor-tensin/vs-shell@v1
      with:
        arch: x64

`x64` is the default value for the `arch` parameter and can be omitted.
Use `x86` if you want to build 32-bit binaries.

API
---

| Input | Value | Default | Description
| ----- | ----- | ------- | -----------
| arch  | x64   | Yes     | Build 64-bit executables.
|       | x86   | No      | Build 32-bit executables.

The action passes the environment variables set by one of the vcvars*.bat
scripts to the calling job.
