This orb allows CircleCI users to run the workflow automation scripts on the GitHub Marketplace, otherwise known as "Actions". It's particularly useful for developers that want to combine the speed and flexiblity of CircleCI with third-party extensibility of GitHub Actions.

This is still a work-in-progress and not feature-complete.

Behind the scenes, this orb makes use of the lights-camera-action project to download and execute GitHub Actions.

To invoke a GitHub Action in your CircleCI config, specify its repository, source revision, and inputs:

- gh-action:
    uses: actions/hello-world-docker-action@v1
    with: |
      who-to-greet: 'Mona The Octocat'

This is intentionally very similar to the syntax if you were to write it in a GitHub Workflow:

- uses: actions/hello-world-docker-action@v1
  with:
    who-to-greet: 'Mona The Octocat'
