    General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score

    From the README

    These are the workflow files for helping people get started with GitHub Actions. They're presented whenever you start to create a new GitHub Actions workflow.

    If you want to get started with GitHub Actions, you can use these starter workflows by clicking the "Actions" tab in the repository where you want to create a workflow.

    Thank you for your interest in this GitHub repo, however, right now we are not taking contributions.

    We continue to focus our resources on strategic areas that help our customers be successful while making developers' lives easier. While GitHub Actions remains a key part of this vision, we are allocating resources towards other areas of Actions and are not taking contributions to this repository at this time. The GitHub public roadmap is the best place to follow along for any updates on features we’re working on and what stage they’re in.

    We are taking the following steps to better direct requests related to GitHub Actions, including:

    We will still provide security updates for this project and fix major breaking changes during this time.

    You are welcome to still raise bugs in this repo.

    Each workflow must be written in YAML and have a .yml extension. They also need a corresponding .properties.json file that contains extra metadata about the workflow (this is displayed in the GitHub.com UI).

    For example: ci/django.yml and ci/properties/django.properties.json.
