@actions/upload-artifact-with-wget

Upload actions artifacts from your workflows runs.

This is a tryout to make a lighter version of actions/upload-artifact made for simple workflows where most of the work could run on a alpine shell and only the artifact uploading required a full blown NodeJS container.

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)

Inputs

# If you can, give the full URL :
# - uses: https://entrepot.xlii.si/actions/upload-artifact-with-wget@v4
- uses: actions/upload-artifact-with-wget@v4
  with:
    # Name of the artifact to upload.
    # Optional. Default is 'artifact'
    name:

    # A file, directory or wildcard pattern that describes what to upload
    # Required.
    path:

    # If the artifact is already a zipfile, set to false.
    # Optional. Default is true.
    compression:

    # Set the compression level of the zipfile.
    # Optional. Default is '6'.
