setup-cli

GitHub Action to install the Mergify CLI (mergify-cli) with version pinning and Renovate autoupdate.

It installs the prebuilt mergify binary via the mergify-cli install.sh installer, which downloads the binary from the GitHub release and verifies it against the release SHA256SUMS. For a pinned version the installer is fetched from that release tag; latest uses main. The action then puts the binary on PATH and exposes the installed version as an output. Pinned by default, latest supported. No Python or toolchain is required; Linux and macOS are supported.

  id: setup-cli
  with:
    mergify_cli_version: latest
