Multi Job GitHub Actions Workflow Example

Показать описание

When you're learning GitHub Actions the examples tend to stick with just one job. But multi-job GitHub Actions are the norm, not the exception. In this multi-job GitHub Actions example, you'll see a simple workflow that has two jobs, one of which uses the windows-latest GitHub Action runner while the other runner uses ubuntu-latest. With this configuration, we can test builds on multiple environments with separate runners. We can also include commands in Windows that might not work in Linux and vice-versa. And as you'll see from this GitHub Action job example, multiple jobs run in parallel, so it's relatively efficient, as opposed to a sequential job run that would take forever. This example is also a good contrast with the multi-step GitHub Actions example, as it demonstrates the difference between GitHub Action steps vs jobs.
