OCaml

How json2vars-setter handles OCaml, and how the example workflow provisions it.

json2vars-setter integration

Item Value
Matrix JSON key versions.ocaml
Action output versions_ocaml
Dynamic-update strategy input ocaml-strategy (stable / latest / both)
Version source see Version Sources

Supported runners

The example matrix runs on Ubuntu / macOS:

ubuntu-latest, macos-latest

Any GitHub-hosted runner the setup action supports also works - the OS list is just the os array in your matrix JSON.
