In this YouTube video, we'll be showing you how to trigger a GitHub Actions workflow from another workflow. This technique can come in handy when you want to automate a series of tasks and need one workflow to start the process and then another workflow to carry out additional steps.

We'll begin by setting up two workflows in our GitHub repository. The first workflow will be responsible for triggering the second workflow and the second workflow will carry out the tasks that we want to automate.

We'll also show you how to pass information from one workflow to another. This will allow you to configure the second workflow based on the results of the first workflow.

Finally, we'll wrap up the video by discussing some best practices and tips for using this technique effectively in your own projects.

This video is aimed at developers and DevOps engineers who are familiar with GitHub Actions and want to learn more about triggering workflows from one another. By the end of the video, you'll have a solid understanding of how to set up and trigger workflows in GitHub Actions.

The video is quite informative. Could you please clarify whether it is possible to parameterize the branch name from the caller workflow to the called workflow and utilize said branch name within the called workflow for checkout?

Great video. I can use the PAT only if i have the access to trigger the called workflow not just with view access -- is my understanding correct?
