Github workflow

[jaapio]

Hi,

Thanks for the research on how to use PIE to install ext-php-rs based extensions. With some trial and error I managed to complete my first extension. I saw your open todo, about the github actions workflow, So I thought it would be nice to share my attempt to get it to work: https://github.com/jaapio/php-pagefind/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml

This works, but I'm not completely convinced it is the way to go. If you think it is, I can create a PR to make it part of this template repo.

Hey @jaapio, thanks for the feedback and glad you got it working. Main credit for pie goes to @brettmc and https://github.com/brettmc/otel-php-rust. He was kind enough to give me some pointers.

My goal is to set up a pipeline that is a little more complete for this. E.g. having matrix builds, producing the required windows pie artefacts and maybe automatic releases.

While I usually appreciate contributions I have some specific ideas and goals here and it should be polished enough to be used as a template for new projects.

As my main focus is the extension itself I am not sure when I will get to this.

Thanks for sharing your work though. You might also want to check out the workflows we use in ext-php-rs repo. Most steps are the same as needed for building extensions.
