First, thank you. I have been looking for a way to do this and came to the comments to see if there were workarounds to use composite actions without putting them in a separate repo.
Which brings me the second comment... this is proof the docs suck. I have looked and looked for any evidence that this exact scenario was possible. There are no examples or documentation of this feature anywhere that I could find.
Absolutely agree. Docs are either perfect (5%) or…completely obscure (95%). I can't tell the difference between Github Actions and API documentation in places, but I desire functional examples. No clue where I built it up, but I'm comfortable now…lots of trial and error.
For a lot of Github Actions, I actually follow the Github Roadmap through to implementation as the PRs actually have good examples in them… https://github.com/github/roadmap/projects/1
