Auto build Aseprite via GitHub Actions
Aseprite is a popular animated sprite editor and pixel art tool. While Aseprite is a paid application, its source code is publicly available and can be compiled for free under its EULA.
This project uses GitHub Actions to automatically:
- Fetch the latest stable release of Aseprite from the official repository
- Download the required Skia library
- Compile Aseprite for Windows x64
- Publish the compiled binary as a GitHub Release
This means you can simply use this repository as a template and get a ready-to-use Aseprite build without needing to set up a local build environment.
