Question

What are two reasons for keeping an action in its own repository rather than bundling it with other application code? (Each correct answer provides a complete solution. Choose two.)

Choose two

A It makes the action.yml file optional.
B It makes it easier for the GitHub community to discover the action.
C It widens the scope of the code base for developers fixing issues and extending the action.
D It decouples the action’s versioning from the versioning of other application code.
E It allows sharing workflow secrets with other users.

Explanation

Keeping an action in a separate repository makes it easier for the GitHub community to discover and allows the action to be versioned independently of other application code. A separate repository narrows, rather than widens, the codebase scope for developers maintaining the action. Managing custom actions — GitHub Docs
