I faced with this issue today, this is potential blocker for cimas tool

GHA now supports composite steps so finally, we can 'include' some parts of workflow https://github.community/t/is-it-possible-to-reuse-workflow-yaml-to-setup-similar-workflows/17142

Also we can keep many actions in the same repo https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59259783/how-to-combine-two-action-yml-files-in-one-repo

@CAMOBAP I still think we should finish up actions-mn instead of using YAML files. Can you help with them?

We should probably make Cimas adhere to the rate limiting, later on?

@ronaldtse to be on the same page

• as far as I understood we can use actions-mn only for "user" repos, we cannot use it for our ruby gems project
• actions-mn looks working I will start using it for samples repos https://github.com/actions-mn/setup/actions

Composite actions don't support other actions in it uses and if conditions (( actions/runner#646

An interesting project appears which https://github.com/mithro/actions-includes but there is still updates on https://github.community/t/support-for-yaml-anchors/16128/60

[CAMOBAP]

Not much we can do in the scope of this task except waiting... per https://github.community/t/being-dry-centralized-workflows/16548/7

This is on GitHubs roadmap.

Looks like GitHub Actions composite actions now support using https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/metadata-syntax-for-github-actions#runs-for-composite-actions, but still not support matrix
