## Usage

### Quick start

```yaml
name: ci

on:
  pull_request:
    branches: master
  push:
    branches: master
    tags:

jobs:
  buildx:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      -
        name: Set up Docker Buildx
        id: buildx
        uses: docker/actions/setup-buildx@v1
        with:
          version: latest
      -
        name: Builder instance name
        run: echo ${{ steps.buildx.outputs.name }}
      -
        name: Available platforms
        run: echo ${{ steps.buildx.outputs.platforms }}
```

### With QEMU

If you want support for more platforms you can use our [setup-qemu](../setup-qemu) action:

```yaml
name: ci

on:
  pull_request:
    branches: master
  push:
    branches: master
    tags:

jobs:
  buildx:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      -
        name: Set up QEMU
        uses: docker/actions/setup-qemu@v1
        with:
          platforms: all
      -
        name: Set up Docker Buildx
        id: buildx
        uses: docker/actions/setup-buildx@v1
        with:
          version: latest
      -
        name: Available platforms
        run: echo ${{ steps.buildx.outputs.platforms }}
```
