❓FAQ

What is a workflow artifact for Github Actions?

Answer:

An artifact is a file or collection of files produced during a workflow run.
For example, you can use artifacts to save your build and test output after a workflow run has ended.
All actions and workflows called within a run have write access to that run's artifacts
