#### Example using action inside a different private repository than the workflow

Your workflow must checkout the private repository and reference the action locally.

{% raw %}
```yaml
jobs:
my_first_job:
steps:
- name: Check out repository
uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
repository: octocat/my-private-repo
ref: v1.0
token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
path: ./.github/actions/my-private-repo
- name: Run my action
uses: ./.github/actions/my-private-repo/my-action
```
{% endraw %}

### `jobs.<job_id>.steps[*].run`

Runs command-line programs using the operating system's shell. If you do not provide a `name`, the step name will default to the text specified in the `run` command.
