Why is this GitHub Action needed?
---------------------------------

The runner images on GitHub Action has long included `sbt` runner script. The [initial commit on actions/runner-images](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/pull/96) contains `images/linux/scripts/installers/sbt.sh`. However, the situation has changed in May 2024 when GitHub released the runner image for `macos-13` and `macos-14`, users noticed that they were missing the `sbt` runner script.

### May 2024

However, the situation has changed in May 2024 when GitHub released the runner image for `macos-13` and `macos-14`, users noticed that they were missing the `sbt` runner script.

[actions/runner-images#9369](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/9369) and [actions/runner-images#9837](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/9837) confirmed that this was intentional:

> Thank you for such detail request. But currently we have no plans to add `sbt` on `macOS-13`/`macOS-14`.

Since GitHub Actions are extensible, we thought this providing a setup action would be convenient way to enable `sbt` again on all runner images.

### December 2024

The situation changed again in December 2024 when GitHub dropped sbt from `ubuntu-latest`. So now this same action is needed for Ubuntu-based builds, too.
