It’s find for actions and workflows as long as you do no interpolation and logic.

Better move as much of that as possible into your own scripts. And your scripts can be portable between forges, and even run locally!



The YAML spec/parse _itself_ does interpolation and logic - incorrectly in some cases. YAML is pretty much never the right solution.


Assigning an env var to an empty variable (env: { myvar: ${{unsetfoo}} }) should trigger an error, not silently pass an empty string.


What does that have to do with YAML?


It has to do with the gha bastardization of yaml, which clearly learned nothing from ansible's deficiencies.

How do you specify actions and workflows without interpolation and logic kind sir?


Run the same script for all of the workflow triggers and pass relevant vars into the script as environment variables.
