@actions/upload-artifact-with-wget

Upload actions artifacts from your workflow runs.

This is a lighter version of actions/upload-artifact. It is made for simple workflows in self-hosted runners, where all the work was done in an Alpine container and bringing a NodeJS container just for the artifact upload was a bit wasteful.

Usage

This action won't copy all the features of the original NodeJS version but please report differences on the main ones.

Requirements

This action needs the following executables:

• zip (unless you zip the artifact yourself)
• wget (the full version : unfortunately, as of 2024-08-26, the busybox variant isn't capable of using the PUT method)
