    To be honest I've always found the best approach with most of these systems is to checking your magic as shell-scripts inside your repository.

    Then you're much much more portable. Want to run tests? Run ".ci/tests.sh", want to generate artifacts "make", or ".ci/build.sh".

    All systems, be they github actions, jenkins, gitlab-runners, and everything else allow you to clone/update your repository and run something from within it. Which keeps things mostly portable.

    I put together a simple github action a long time ago, but now of course I realize it is overkill:

    3.5 I was excited to see action composition until I realized that the composed action will still be showed as one step and that it can just compose actions instead of whole workflows.

    I want to share whole jobs across my repos, including matrixes and all. I could wrap some common workflows into one action, but then the whole complexity will be hidden in a single step.

    So I resorted to creating GHA Templates and manually synching them with a CLI tool: https://github.com/fregante/ghat
