Simply your build actions with Apt, Brew, and Choco dependencies in one action. Easy as ABC!
Setting up a GitHub Action to build your project is fairly easy. One of the most
useful tools for a cross-platform build job is GitHub Actions's
job.strategy.matrix, which allows you to run the same build steps on multiple
platforms. However, if you have platform-specific dependencies, it can be a pain
to manage, as you have to add a new action for each platform, and check the
runner's platform in each step
(

This conflicts with the goal of having a single build step that runs on all
platforms. Enter abc, a simple build action that automates the process of

choco. Let's make platform-specific dependencies easy as ABC!
