This GitHub Action allows you to run a ROOT CERN script for different purposes. The action sets up the ROOT environment, runs the specified ROOT script, and verifies the existence of an output file.

Required: The name of the ROOT CERN script you want to run. Provide the script name as a string, for example, 'script_name.C'.

Optional: The name of the output file to check for after the ROOT script has been executed. Provide the filename as a string, for example, 'output.png'. If no output file is expected, this parameter can be omitted.

Add a step in your GitHub Actions workflow YAML file to use this action:
