Action Workflow

Archive Artifacts:

  • It archives the specified files (based on the path input) into a .tar file.
  • If no files are found, it handles the situation based on the if-no-files-found input.

Upload Artifacts:

  • This step is conditional and executes only if the archival process is successful.
  • It uses GitHub's upload-artifact@v3 to upload the created .tar archive.

Remove Archive:

  • After uploading, it removes the temporary .tar file created during the archival step.
