+---
+
+This post goes over how to bundle web apps into desktop native apps with [Tauri](https://tauri.app/) using [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Let's say you have a web app:
+
+```sh
+echo "<h1>Hello App</h1>" > dist/index.html
+```
+
+## Action
+
+Use [`remarkablemark/tauri-action`](https://github.com/remarkablemark/tauri-action) to bundle your web app into a desktop app.
+
+### macOS
+
+Build a macOS app with Tauri:
+
+{% raw %}
+
+```yml
+# .github/workflows/build.yml
+on: push
+
+jobs:
+  build:
+    runs-on: macos-latest
+
+    steps:
+      - name: Build app
+        uses: remarkablemark/tauri-action@v1
+        id: tauri
+        with:
+          app-name: My App
+        env:
+          APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITY: '-'
+
+      - name: Upload app
+        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v6
+        with:
+          name: macOS
+          path: ${{ steps.tauri.outputs.bundle-path }}
+```
+
+{% endraw %}
+
+If you download and unzip the bundle, you'll see the following:
+
+```
+├── dmg
+│   ├── bundle_dmg.sh
+│   ├── icon.icns
+│   └── My App_0.1.0_aarch64.dmg
+├── macos
+│   └── My App.app
+│       └── Contents
+│           ├── Info.plist
+│           ├── MacOS
+│           │   └── app
+│           └── Resources
+│               └── icon.icns
+└── share
+    └── create-dmg
+        └── support
+            ├── eula-resources-template.xml
+            └── template.applescript
+```
+
+### All
+
+Build a desktop app on all platforms with Tauri:
+
+{% raw %}
+
+```yml
+# .github/workflows/build.yml
+on: push
+
+jobs:
+  build:
+    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
+    strategy:
+      matrix:
+        os: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, windows-latest]
+
+    steps:
+      - name: Build app
+        uses: remarkablemark/tauri-action@v1
+        id: tauri
+        with:
+          app-name: My App
+
+      - name: Upload app
+        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v6
+        with:
+          name: ${{ runner.os }}
+          path: ${{ steps.tauri.outputs.bundle-path }}
+```
+
+{% endraw %}
+
+This creates unique binaries/executables for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
+
+### Inputs
+
+You can configure the Tauri action by passing [inputs](https://github.com/remarkablemark/tauri-action#inputs). For example:
+
+{% raw %}
+
+```yml
+- name: Build app
+  uses: remarkablemark/tauri-action@v1
+  id: tauri
+  with:
+    app-name: My App
+    app-version: 1.2.3
+    window-width: 800
+    window-height: 600
+    frontend-dist: ../dist
+    before-build-command: npm run build
+    icon-path: app-icon.png
+```
+
+{% endraw %}
