Reusable workflows are YAML-formatted files, very similar to any other workflow file. As with other workflow files, you locate reusable workflows in the .github/workflows directory of a repository. Subdirectories of the workflows directory are not supported.
For a workflow to be reusable, the values for on must include workflow_call:
on:
workflow_call:You can define inputs and secrets, which can be passed from the caller workflow and then used within the called workflow. There are three stages to using an input or a secret in a reusable workflow.
In the reusable workflow, use the inputs and secrets keywords to define inputs or secrets that will be passed from a caller workflow.
on:
workflow_call:
inputs:
config-path:
required: true
type: string
secrets:
envPAT:
required: true
