Python CI with uv

GitHub Actions Steps

Setup and Install

- uses: actions/checkout@v4

- name: Install uv
  uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@v7
  with:
    enable-cache: true
    python-version: "{PYTHON_VERSION}"

- name: Create venv and install dependencies
  run: |
    uv venv
    uv pip install {DEPENDENCIES}

Running Commands

After setup, use uv run to execute commands in the venv:

- name: Run command
  run: uv run {COMMAND}

Variables

Variable Description Default
{PYTHON_VERSION} Python version 3.12
{DEPENDENCIES} Space-separated packages -
{COMMAND} Command to run -

Best Practices

  • enable-cache: true caches ~/.cache/uv automatically
  • uv venv creates .venv in workspace (isolated from system)
  • Use uv run to execute commands in the venv without explicit activation
  • setup-uv@v7 handles Python installation via python-version input
