I am writing a private app that creates commits and pushes them to a private repo. I can successfully use my in-app token to push, but is there an email address I can use that will be associated with my app installation? Just like when my app leaves a comment that is attributed to $myapp [bot], I am wondering if there is a way to have the UI show $myapp [bot] for the commit author.

I wanted to copy and paste some console output from an action in a private repository. Clicking and dragging to highlight multiple lines of text and scroll the viewport down, results in strange behavior where the same portion of the viewport remains highlighted but the contents change, meaning I can't copy more than 20-30 lines at a time. So if I want to copy a large block of text, I have to be very careful to copy and paste one portion at a time, mentally tracking what I have copied so far; and I have to be careful to not scroll the viewport.

How are the minutes calculated? The pricing details at the bottom of https://github.com/features/actions are missing some detail. If my job runs for 1 second, does it get billed as 1 minute?

My full workflow takes about 15 minutes to run. Many stages run in parallel, and one of them failed due to an intermittent network error on an external service. There is a little info circle logo on the failed step, with tooltip text "This check suite has disabled re-running individual check runs". I haven't been able to find any info in the docs about allowing or enabling re-running an individual check. Ideally I could re-run that short stage instead of re-running the entire 15 minute workflow. Is it possible to enable re-running individual checks today?

I have a workflow that uses setup-go. At the bottom of the output of that step, I see ``` Added matchers: 'go'. Problem matchers scan action output for known warning or error strings and report these inline. ##[add-matcher]/home/runner/work/_actions/actions/setup-go/v1/.github/go.json ``` Then later in that workflow, I produce a test report that prints to stdout. There is a line, `##[error] delete_me_test.go:17: fail`. As far as I can tell, that "##[error]" prefix is a result of the Go matcher. I don't want that prefix, as it ruins the formatting I intended. Is there a way to turn off a matcher? I couldn't find any search results in the help docs, or here in the forum, mentioning matchers. I am fine if setup-go turns it on by default, so long as I can opt out of it later.

I have a job like: lint: runs-on: ubuntu-latest needs: [lint_foo, lint_bar, lint_baz] steps: - run: true I was hoping to use the "meta" job `lint` as a single status for other automation to confirm whether all the individual lint jobs succeeded. However, I am seeing that if a single lint_foo or lint_bar or lint_baz step fails, the lint job doesn't report at all. The documentation led me to believe that lint would report as failure. According to https://help.github.com/en/articles/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idneeds : " If a job fails, all jobs that need it will also fail unless the jobs use a conditional statement that causes the job to continue."

Based on the terse conversation at https://github.com/actions/download-artifact/issues/3, it looks like download-artifact is not a solution to caching across invocations of workflows. My use case is a project using Go, where I would like to preserve GOCACHE from one Workflow invocation to another. This particular project is taking about 11 minutes to run `go test -race ./...`. If it could use the build cache from a previous run, I would expect it to take less than a minute, as many of the test results would be cached and most of the compilation results would be cached too. Not being able to transfer GOCACHE between runs is a significant hindrance to adopting GitHub Actions.

In the email reports when my Workflow fails, I see mentions of annotations, like "$xyz succeeded (0 annotations)". What are annotations? The search bar on help.github.com doesn't show any relevant results.
