feature request: install-dir?

[makslevental]

Any chance we could get plumbing connecting to installDir via GHA?

setup-cpp/src/cli-options.ts

Line 67 in f07e7e8

if ("installDir" in installationInfo) {

When I try to use this in a container on GitHub, for some reason e.g., LLVM gets deposited to /github/home/llvm.

Actually I guess the reason is something having to do with actions/checkout#785 ?

EDIT: ah nm it's because it's in the docker startup command:

The installation directory for binaries is always ~/ unless overwritten by SETUP_CPP_DIR. This doesn't include the installation directory for package managers that use other default paths (e.g. apt, brew)

setup-cpp/src/setup-cpp.ts

Line 42 in cb3bbf1

const setupCppDir = process.env.SETUP_CPP_DIR ?? untildifyUser("~")
