Is this related to #2609?

[pascalberger]

Yes.

The question is what the scope of #2609 is? Part is already done in IGitHubActionsProvider (access to environment variables), another with the Cake Action, support of workflow commands is another part where this issues overlaps with #2609, and having additional helpers for stuff like uploading artifacts, which is not supported by workflow commands is the third part.

Wouldn't it be better to close #2609 and create individual issues for the remaining issues instead?

[ecampidoglio]

I started working on #2609 already and I was actually thinking about implementing this, as well.

Adding support for interacting with GitHub Actions could still be tracked in #2609, but I'll create separate PRs for each area (environment, commands etc). Would that be fine or would you rather track them as individual issues?

[devlead]

As we use issues for or release notes, if it's separate features enough to warrant multiple PRs, then I think we should split into multiple issues.

[ecampidoglio]

The way I see it, adding complete support for interacting with GitHub Actions is one feature. But I'm fine with splitting it up, if you prefer.

[pascalberger]

The confusing thing is, that part of it already has shipped with current version of Cake and remaining parts probably might ship in different versions. Therefore I'm with @devlead on this, that separate issues make sense in this case, since we're using them for release notes.

[ecampidoglio]

Since I'm already working on #2609, I'll take on this one, as well.
