Description
Lots of different github actions out there offer actions to install the CLI tools (along with caching support) so that you can make it easier to use the binary in subsequent steps of a job.
Example
- name: Install kubectl
uses: azure/setup-kubectl@v4
with:
version: 'v1.33.0'
- name: Use Kubectl
run: |
kubectl get nodes
Another
- name: Install Task
uses: go-task/setup-task@v1
- name: Use Task
run: |
task setup
It would be helpful if this action also provided an "install only" mode that installs (and caches) the tailscale binary so you can use it in followup steps. Right now it tries to ALWAYS login.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests, so begin by locating the action’s entry point and tracing its current installation, caching, and login flow. Define the install-only behavior from the existing examples, then verify that it installs and caches the tailscale binary without logging in while preserving the current login flow.
