Thank you for this PR, I think this would definitely help make things smoother for Windows users 🎊

Thanks for uploading the screenshot. Would you be able to follow the steps at https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/creating-a-composite-run-steps-action (but using git update-index --chmod=+x ./goodbye.sh) and then share the results in a public repo for us to check?

I used to work on this: https://github.com/raiden-e/powershell-actions, in which I used to follow the steps while using the given command.

Hi @raiden-e 👋

I wanted to add some updates to this PR, but it looks like the original fork was deleted. Would you be able to create a new PR and keep your fork around until the PR is merged?

I also had some suggestions for your new PR:

1. The "Prerequisites" step 4 could be replaced by echo "echo Goodbye" > goodbye.sh
2. To make the file executable from windows, it looks like the preference is to use git add --chmod=+x -- goodbye.sh. It might be clearer if we create a separate tab for the Windows instructions, similar to approach taken here: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/monitoring-and-troubleshooting-self-hosted-runners.
