* Add absolute_build_dir input option This commit adds absolute_build_dir as an additional input. If the option is set, the provided build_dir argument won't be treated as a relative path to the current working directory anymore. This is helpful in environments like Nix, where the build is output to a static folder (for example /nix/store). Closes #159. * Add follow_symlinks option This option allows symbolic links in the source directory to be followed, recursively copying the entire directory structure. * Update outputs * Add missing inputs to action.yml * Add default values to input options This concerns absolute_build_dir and follow_symlinks.
