Question

Your team has built a JavaScript action that runs internal linting logic. Company policy forbids publishing anything to the public GitHub Marketplace, but several private repositories across your organization need to reference this action in their workflows. The action lives in a private repository named `acme-org/lint-action`. What must you configure so other private repos in the organization can use `uses: acme-org/lint-action@v1` without vendoring a copy?

Accepted Answer

In the `lint-action` repository settings under Actions access, allow access to the action from other repositories in the organization.

Answer

Publish the action to the GitHub Marketplace as an 'unlisted' release so only organization members can discover it.

Answer

Move the action into each consuming repository's `.github/actions` directory so the `uses` path resolves locally.

Answer

Add the action's `action.yml` to the organization's `.github` repository so it is inherited by all repos automatically.
