GitHub Action for downloading a Windows Steam game into a folder using SteamCMD
This action downloads, and then verifies a game from steam using Valve's official command line tool. While SteamCMD supports anonymous login, most games - even free ones - require themselves to be owned. Make sure that the account you're logging in with actually has the desired game in its library!
This is an example setup for ChilloutVR, adjust these values differently if you're installing a different game.
