This is a GitHub Action to install the new Octopus CLI (octopus) on runners and self-hosted environments. Once installed, the Octopus CLI may be used to issue commands to Octopus Deploy. Subsequent actions may use the Octopus CLI, which is cached and available via PATH.

What is the Octopus CLI?

The Octopus CLI is a command line tool that builds on top of the Octopus REST API. It enables you to package applications for deployment and manage your environments, deployments, channels, projects, and workers in Octopus Deploy.
