A GitHub Action to set up github/licensed for use in action workflows, at the specified version input and target platform. The action will fail if licensed isn't available for the specified version and target platform.
Installing licensed as a Ruby gem requires an Actions environment that supports gem install. The default system Ruby installation that is available in GitHub Actions runners does not support user-installed gems. Please use ruby/setup-ruby or a similar action in your workflow before using this action in order to install licensed as a Ruby gem.
Licensed is not available as an executable for any version >= 4.0. Please install licensed as a Ruby gem for these versions
Licensed executables are provided for macOS and linux platforms. When installing a licensed executable, this action will overwrite any version of the executable already installed at the install-dir input.
Installing licensed as an executable requires making API calls to GitHub which can be rate limited and significantly slow down a GitHub Action workflow run. Rate limiting is more likely to happen when using ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} for the github_token input or when leaving the github_token input empty. If you are hitting frequent rate limiting and long action runtimes, please set github_token to a user PAT or install licensed as a Ruby gem.
