Files downloaded by cURL gets deleted after the next step

Self-explanatory: When trying to download a file using curl, the file gets deleted by the next step of my workflow file
See this workflow
And this one, where combining the two steps fixes this weird issue.

Is this normal?

Just another run to show that this issue exists https://github.com/fillwithjoy1/pixel-6-kernel/actions/runs/9679041930

Each time you use a new run step, it starts in the ${{ github.workspace }} directory - AKA, often the root of where your checkout action clones things.

      # Runs a set of commands using the runners shell
      - name: Sync kernel repo
        run: |
          mkdir android-kernel
          cd android-kernel
          repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/manifest -b android14-gs-pixel-6.1
          repo sync -c --no-tags
      - name: Update vendor ramdisk (through curl)
        if: false
        run: |
          cd ..
          ....

For example, it looks to me like with this cd .., you're trying to go back to the original directory after in the previous step, where you had had mkdir android-kernal && cd android-kernel.

You can change the default working directory for run steps for each individual run step, or as a default for the entire job.

Thank you so much! This was the missing link that I was looking for, and I've fixed my code because of this. Thank you.
