# shared-github-actions
Repository to store workflows (and other stuff) that we'll re-use in other PNC repositories

A sample `release.yml` configuration file from the [GitHub documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/releasing-projects-on-github/automatically-generated-release-notes#configuring-automatically-generated-release-notes) has been added to `.github/release.yml` - this can be copied to each relevant repository.
