Merry Action is a GitHub Action that simplifies the setup of a multi-chain testing environment using Merry. This action installs Merry natively on the GitHub Actions runner, allowing developers to easily launch and manage Bitcoin and Ethereum nodes for testing purposes.

• Multi-Chain Support: Quickly set up Bitcoin regtest and Ethereum localnet nodes in a single workflow.
• Native Installation: Installs Merry directly on the runner, making the command available for subsequent steps.
• Dependency Management: Automatically installs necessary dependencies like curl and git.
• Easy Integration: Simple to incorporate into your GitHub Actions workflows.

• Ensure you are using GitHub Actions in a repository that has the necessary permissions to run actions.
• The runner must support executing shell commands.

To use Merry Action in your GitHub Actions workflow, follow these steps:

1. Add this Action to Your Workflow:

   You can confirm the installation by adding:
