GitHub Actions Cleaner

A simple composite run steps action to clean the GitHub Actions environment to bare minimum. When you don't really need any extra software rather than core functions of Ubuntu itself, you would want to use this.

Github Actions give you a 84GB storage drive which is loaded up to 56GB with lots of programs inbuilt. That gives you only 29GB playground.

But with this action, you can gain up to 76GB! That means around 47GB can be freed!

More space can be gained. Work is undergoing to achieve that.

Requirement

Nothing really, just your Actions Runner needs to be run on ubuntu-20.04.

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-20.04

Bionic support will be added later.
