[![license](https://img.shields.io/github/license/threeal/cmake-action)](./LICENSE)
[![test status](https://img.shields.io/github/actions/workflow/status/threeal/cmake-action/test.yml?label=test&branch=main)](https://github.com/threeal/cmake-action/actions/workflows/test.yml)
Configure, build, and test a [CMake](https://cmake.org/) project on [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions).
Use this action to simplify the workflow run of your CMake project.
This action will configure a build environment for your project using the `cmake` command,
then it will build your project by running a `cmake --build` command,
and last it could test your project using the `ctest` command.
## Features
- Configure and build a project using the [cmake](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake.1.html) command.
- Optionally test a project using the [ctest](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/ctest.1.html) command.
- Auto-detect and install required dependencies.
- Specify multiple CMake options directly from the Action inputs.
## Usage
For more information, see [action.yml](./action.yml) and [GitHub Actions guide](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/understanding-github-actions).
