Announcing the Release of Cloudsmith CLI GitHub Action 🚀

We just released the Cloudsmith CLI GitHub Action. This new GitHub Action simplifies the process of installing and pre-authenticating the Cloudsmith CLI using OpenID Connect (OIDC) or an API Key. Whether managing packages, pushing artifacts, or automating your CI/CD workflows, this action is designed to streamline your experience and enhance your productivity.

Key Features and Benefits

With this GitHub Action, you can effortlessly install the Cloudsmith CLI in your workflows. No more manual installations or complex setup processes. Simply add the action to your workflow, and the CLI will be ready to use.

2. Pre-Authentication with OIDC 🌐

One of the standout features of this action is its ability to pre-authenticate the Cloudsmith CLI using OIDC. By leveraging OIDC, you can securely authenticate without the need to manage API keys. This is particularly useful for organizations that prioritize security and want to minimize the exposure of sensitive credentials.

3. Support for API Key Authentication 🔑

In addition to OIDC, the action also supports authentication using an API Key. This provides flexibility for users who prefer or require API Key-based authentication. You can easily switch between authentication methods based on your needs.

4. Customizable Inputs 🛠️

The action comes with several customizable inputs, allowing you to tailor the setup to your specific requirements. You can specify the CLI version, provide the OIDC namespace and service slug, set the API Key, and more. This level of customization ensures that the action fits seamlessly into your existing workflows.

5. Seamless Integration with GitHub Actions 🤝
