> Actions reduce workflow steps by providing reusabe[sic] “code” for common tasks. To run an action, you include the uses keyword pointing to a GitHub repo with the pattern {owner}/{repo}@{ref} or {owner}/{repo}/{path}@{ref} if it’s in a subdirectory. A ref can be a branch, tag, or SHA.
Aside from the typo, I wonder how many packages could be backdoored at once, if an action maintainer went rogue, seeing as there's no pinning for actions by default, and (according to https://github.com/msys2/setup-msys2/blob/main/HACKING.md) moving a tag is the default way to push updates to an action. (Interestingly get-cmake/run-cmake/run-vcpkg are all operated by the same person.)
