2 years ago Yeah, those docs do say that bash is "The default shell on non-Windows platforms with a fallback to sh", and that bash --noprofile --norc -eo pipefail {0} is the command run internally for this shell.
The last comment on https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/353 also suggests that "hosted runners" should run bash as expected, and I assume the runners for the Qi repo are hosted rather than self-hosted. So, it certainly sounds like it should be the default behavior but isn't.
This looks good to me, and thanks!
Summary of Changes
This is supposed to be the default according to https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_id_stepsshell but https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/353 indicates that this is still not really the case (but the end result is confusing), so we'll be explicit here.
This might solve #56
Public Domain Dedication
(Why: The freely released, copyright-free work in this repository represents an investment in a better way of doing things called attribution-based economics. Attribution-based economics is based on the simple idea that we gain more by giving more, not by holding on to things that, truly, we could only create because we, in our turn, received from others. As it turns out, an economic system based on attribution -- where those who give more are more empowered -- is significantly more efficient than capitalism while also being stable and fair (unlike capitalism, on both counts), giving it transformative power to elevate the human condition and address the problems that face us today along with a host of others that have been intractable since the beginning. You can help make this a reality by releasing your work in the same way -- freely into the public domain in the simple hope of providing value.
