Are people finding a real need for importing and updating git actions? Aren't they usually just running a one line bash command? I'd just copy paste the action in to your config so it's fully locked and under your control rather than importing some opaque script from a no name github user.

Github actions are not that simple. Not even close

A lot of things that should be one bash command turn out to be dozens of lines of incantations and handling edge cases. Microsoft I'm looking in your direction.

For those things an action helps.
