About

A reusable GitHub Action that executes a bash script inside a container with the current working directory (CWD) mounted. This action simplifies workflows by enabling script execution in an isolated containerized environment while maintaining access to the local project files

This action provides an alternative for using the container: directive, which runs an entire job inside a container.

This allows running actions/checkout, actions/download-artifact, actions/upload-artifact, and other actions outside of the container's context, avoid conflicts with the container's environment, and allows for a more flexible and modular workflow.
