Choose a version

install-pinned/black

Securely install the latest black release from PyPI.

This action installs a pinned version of black 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 black from PyPI
        uses: install-pinned/black@a35c1cb5f75ef9b1981d237572fa60408157590a  # 24.10.0

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!
