💪 Bicep Build Action

GitHub Action that builds a Bicep main file and outputs a generated ARM Template file.

When to use

The action is particularly useful for Continuous Integration scenarios where you want to validate the ARM template further on your workflow and/or publish it as an artifact.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

If your GitHub Actions workflows are running on a self-hosted runner:

• Azure CLI 2.20.0 or later installed

      bicepFilePath: main.bicep
