Hi @MikeLarah,

I want to say that this repo is awesome. I've been trying to get porter to work in CI/CD and have run into the problem around versioning (amongst other issues).

I was wondering, how do I make use of the tools in this repo? AFAIK I can't see that is available anywhere except for as source.

It is possible we may want to use mixins other than ones from the default Porter mixin feed, or specific versions of mixins other than latest.

We currently look at the list of mixins from the quickstart Porter manifest, and install the the latest version based on name. We also currently have a hardcoded workaround in the action to handle the helm3 mixin.

Porter does not currently allow you to specify the explicit feed URL/version for the mixin in the manifest, so proposal is to have a mapping file for each quickstart.

e.g.

mixins:
- helm:
    feedUrl: https://mchorfa.github.com/porter-helm3/atom.xml
    version: ~v0.1.3

Then the action can use this mapping file to install the correct set of mixins when building the bundle. We can probably assume that if the mixin is not included in the mapping file, then we try to install the latest version from the default feed.
