When they had the previous announcement I switched my open source projects to GitHub actions. I get that some people will not want more GitHub but I figured given all the configuration is open and checked into your repo someone will eventually make an open source clone that can read the same configs . I also really like the way build scripts can be referenced by url/id such that I can just reference existing scripts made by other people. Super nice!

  See this example action, it just "uses" other scripts https://github.com/samuelmeuli/action-electron-builder https://github.com/samuelmeuli/action-electron-builder docs https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idstepsuses https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/refe...

    Thanks! Still not sure what you mean about https://github.com/samuelmeuli/action-electron-builder https://github.com/samuelmeuli/action-electron-builder I see the workflows at: https://github.com/samuelmeuli/action-electron-builder/blob/master/.github/workflows/lint.yml https://github.com/samuelmeuli/action-electron-builder/blob/... and https://github.com/samuelmeuli/action-electron-builder/blob/master/.github/workflows/test.yml https://github.com/samuelmeuli/action-electron-builder/blob/... What about them is using other scripts? Oh, do you jsut mean things like `uses: actions/setup-node@v1` is using that standard actions/setup-node "step"? Yeah, you can refrence steps defined elsewhere, ok, I get it! For some reason I was thinking you meant something else. OK, thanks!
