GitHub Actions

LabVIEW will not work by default in a GitHub Action. You need to create a Custom Runner. We have an action set up in this repo. When you clone it, it won't work because it is pointed at our machine. Here is a link to set up your own machine if you want (optional - not required.) If you do, just tag it with LV20x64 or change the tag in the job file.
