How do you build custom GitHub Actions (Docker container vs Composite Actions)?

❓ Interview Prompt: Compare custom GitHub Action types: JavaScript Actions (fast execution), Composite Actions (reusable steps), and Docker Container Actions (isolated environments).

Composite Actions combine shell scripts and steps into reusable units. Docker container actions package custom execution environments into Docker images for 100% isolation.

Code Implementation Example

yaml
name: "Custom Setup & Lint"
runs:
  using: "composite"
  steps:
    - run: npm run lint
      shell: bash
💡Building reusable Composite GitHub Action combining steps.
🎯 Interview Key Takeaway

Build Composite Actions for reusable workflow steps, and Docker Container Actions for complex custom CLI environments.
