GitHub Action for creating and preparing an all-in-one image for Squeak.

You can use this action in your workflow to automatically deploy a one-click/all-in-one image bundle of Squeak containing your app or modifications.

• The bundle is fetched from https://squeak.org/downloads and will contain a ready-to-use image and VM binaries for all supported platforms (head over to squeak-smalltalk/squeak-app for more information).
• You can run custom scripts to prepare the image before saving it or to postpare it when it is opened again.
• You can choose the Squeak version and bitness of the image.

Below is a simple example workflow that creates an image, loads some code into it, and uploads the image bundle as an artifact of your workflow:

on:
  push:
    branches: [master]

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: LinqLover/create-image@latest
        id: create-image
        with:
          squeak-version: '6.0'
          prepare-script: ./scripts/prepareImage.st
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@master
        with:
          name: image
          path: ${{ steps.create-image.outputs.bundle-path }}

In this example, scripts/prepareImage.st might look like this:

"Install something..."
Installer new merge: #ffi.

"Open some welcome contents..."

All the silly mistakes and typos made by you in the prepare/postpare scripts will be caught by the action and displayed in the action log.
