Why:

This page helped me greatly to understand all the component parts in GitHub Actions. One thing that is now clear to me is that there are two types of "task" that a step can actually be - either an action, or a shell command. This is explained in a couple of places in this page, but is notably missing in this specific "Understanding the workflow file" section.

I've raised issue #2210 for this, and here's the PR to address it. Thanks.

What's being changed:

  • Old: "Each line nested under this section is a separate action."
  • New: "Each line nested under this section is a separate action or shell command."

Check off the following:
