Cross Platform Python GUI

This repo is a fork-ready base for your new cross-platform, python-based GUI application.

It includes the CI pipeline to automatically build self-contained executables for Linux (AppImage), Windows (exe), and MacOS (dmg).

This project uses kivy, which also supports android and iOS--though building apps for these platforms hasn't been automated into GitHub Actions (yet). PRs Welcome! ;)

How to use this repo

1. Fork this repo
2. On your forked repo, go to the "Actions" tab and click "I understand my workflows, go ahead and enable them" to enable GitHub workflows
3. Edit src/main.py as needed
4. Add any required python modules to requirements.txt

When you push git commits to github on master, github will automatically spin up containers in the cloud and build your application's executables for all target platforms.
