My Workflow

I maintain some Neovim plugins and wanted to setup automated tests for those using GitHub Actions. First thing you need for testing Neovim plugin is "neovim" itself.

So I wrote this small GitHub Action with only 30-ish lines of code. It takes a Neovim release tag, downloads the archive and sets it up for you. It works on Linux and macOS.

This would be useful to anybody who maintains Neovim plugins.
