I was wondering why there was no GitHub Action to setup Kotlin cli compiler, so I've built one: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/setup-kotlin Sure, that's not required if you use Gradle, Maven etc, but for scripting it might be useful. You can also provide a script to the action which will directly be executed.

I don't know if this is useful to anyone, but I can see uses in small scripts in your ci pipelines where you would prefer Kotlin over Bash or Python. (not sure if this is the right cannel for this)

that's really (probably) useful! thanks for sharing

I've been doing a bunch of automation with GA recently. I've found that act is pretty good for testing things locally if anyone is interested... https://github.com/nektos/act
