## Introduction
This GitHub Action starts a Redis server on the default port `6379`.

This is useful when running tests against a Redis database.


## Usage
A code example says more than a 1000 words. Here’s an exemplary GitHub Action using a Redis server in versions 4 and 5 to test a Node.js app:

```yaml
name: Run tests

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        node-version: [8.x, 10.x, 12.x, 13.x]
        redis-version: [4, 5]

    steps:
    - name: Git checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@v1

    - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
      uses: actions/setup-node@v1
      with:
        node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}

    - name: Start Redis
      uses: superchargejs/redis-github-action@v1
      with:
        redis-version: ${{ matrix.redis-version }}

    - run: npm install

    - run: npm test
      env:
        CI: true
```
