install-pinned/setuptools

Securely install the latest setuptools release from PyPI.

This action installs a pinned version of setuptools and all its dependencies, making sure that file hashes match. Pinning your dependencies:

  1. Stops software supply chain attacks.
  2. Makes sure your CI does not break unexpectedly.

Usage

In your GitHub Actions workflow, use this action like so:

      - name: Install setuptools from PyPI
        uses: install-pinned/setuptools@3fb78acfbc8ffb1b0fa60737e8125abda0f6288e  # 75.6.0

You can set up Dependabot so that your pins are updated regularly.

Alternatives

This action is a relatively simple wrapper around poetry and is most useful if there is no existing requirements.txt/poetry.lock/... infrastructure in place. If you already pin all your dependencies in a single place, you don't need it!
