Clean up PATH

Test

The PATH variable on Windows runners is a cesspool. For example, it includes seemingly dozens of MinGW distributions. This action takes a page out of MSYS2's book here, and cleans PATH so that only the default paths are included. Use it in your workflow like this:

- name: Clean up PATH
  uses: egor-tensin/cleanup-path@v1

API

Input Value Default Description
dirs Empty Yes No additional paths.
Other No Additional paths, separated by a semicolon (;).
default 1 Yes Add the default directories under C:\Windows.
Other No Don't add the default directories.

The action sets the PATH environment variable. Note that even if you call it with default: 0 and don't specify any dirs, it might not clear your PATH completely. Actions like setup-python, etc. have a way to propagate their values to PATH regardless. Also, your shell selection matters.
