 # Windows Collect Dependencies
 A small Gitea Action for collecting the non-system DLL dependencies required by a Windows executable.
 The action uses `dumpbin` to recursively find dependencies and copies the required DLLs into an artifact directory while skipping Windows system libraries.
 ## Usage
 ```yaml
 - name: Collect dependencies
  uses: https://git.omgitsalexl.me/omgitsalexl/windows-collect-dependencies@v1.0.3
  with:
    executable: path/to/MyApp.exe
    output: artifacts
 ```
 ### Inputs
 | Input | Required | Default | Description |
 | --- | --- | --- | --- |
 | `executable` | Yes | | Path to the executable to inspect |
 | `output` | No | `artifacts` | Directory where dependencies are copied |
 The executable itself is not copied. Add it to the output directory separately if you want to package it with the collected DLLs.
 ## Requirements
 The Windows runner must have Visual Studio or Visual Studio Build Tools installed with the **MSVC C++ tools**.
 ## Example
 ```yaml
 - name: Copy executable
  shell: powershell
  run: |
    New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path artifacts
    Copy-Item "build\MyApp.exe" "artifacts\MyApp.exe"
 - name: Collect dependencies
  uses: https://git.omgitsalexl.me/omgitsalexl/windows-collect-dependencies@v1.0.3
  with:
    executable: build/MyApp.exe
 ```
 The resulting `artifacts` directory can then be uploaded or packaged by the rest of your workflow.
