This GitHub action downloads and prepares an instance of GAP. It is intended to be used by the Continuous Integration (CI) action of a GAP package, that is by an action which runs a package's test suite.

This action can be run on macOS and Ubuntu.

The action setup-gap has to be called by the workflow of a GAP package. By default it

• downloads the packages distributed with GAP, and
• compiles the packages io and profiling

Its behaviour can be customized via the inputs below.

All of the following inputs are optional.

• GAP_PKGS_TO_CLONE:
  • A space-separated list of the GAP packages to clone.
  • default: ''
