Reusable Workflows

Available for Enterprise Tier only

Reusable workflows in GitHub Actions let you create shared workflows that can be used across multiple repositories. This reduces duplication, keeps workflows consistent, and makes maintenance easier.

Instead of copying workflow files, you can reference a reusable workflow from another repository or within the same repository.
