Ambiguous instructions for publishing GitHub Actions #18963
Description
Code of Conduct
- I have read and agree to the GitHub Docs project's Code of Conduct
What article on docs.github.com is affected?
What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?
The section Publishing an action, at step 2 says the following.
When a repository contains an action metadata file (action.yml or action.yaml), you'll see a banner to publish the action to GitHub Marketplace. Click Draft a release.
IMHO, this part of the document is outdated. I could not see any banner.
Additionally, at step 3, it says the following.
Select Publish this action to the GitHub Marketplace. If you can't select the Publish this action to the GitHub Marketplace checkbox, you'll need to read and accept the GitHub Marketplace agreement first.
Although a bit different, the checkbox for publishing the Action to the marketplace is only shown when the repository contains an action.yml file. It is not available when using an action.yaml.
