• Notice the jobs field contains a hash, or dictionary, of jobs. You may create more than one job, which will perform multiple actions on multiple runners.

• If you need have different branches trigger different runners on different machines, see an example at: https://github.com/Tufts-Technology-Services/dbaadmin-scripts/tree/develop/.github/workflows

• runs-on specifies which runner you wish your job to run on.

  • For a list of github cloud-hosted runners, see About GitHub-hosted runners

  • For a Tufts on-prem runner, please see Making a private Github Runner

• uses: actions/checkout@v4 This will checkout your repository in the working directory where the job runs. It is generally recommended to keep this line as-is, unless you have a reason to change it.

• run: lines specify actual commands that will run on the runner. You may specify more than one.
