To test a change to a GHA in our actions repo one usually makes a fork but to use that fork one must:

  1. change all paths to use the fork instead of our actions repo
  2. add the changes to the fork
  3. make a pr to test said changes
  4. if it fails one must start from 2 again because rerunning an action does not pick up the latest changes so a new change to the pr needs to be made as well

this is very time consuming and horrible.

We should see if there is another way. Might be good to talk with someone from github about this too

I noticed that if re-usable steps are not in a matrix you can just re-run the workflow after updating the step in your fork (as long as you don't have it hardcoded to some sha)
