SQLite is not so easy to compile

SQLite shell is quite easy to compile, right?

curl -L http://sqlite.org/2021/sqlite-amalgamation-3350000.zip --output src.zip

I found myself in these situations a couple of times. So I decided to create reproducible builds for Windows, Ubuntu, and macOS — using GitHub Actions. Here they are:

SQLite shell builds

Refer to build.yml for build instructions if you prefer to build SQLite shell yourself.
