Where exactly does what say actions need to be in private repos? I'm not finding it.

Edit: Seems like workflows can only be created in private repos [1],

but actions can be public [2].

Found it about workflows at least:

Does this mean that Actions in general cannot be used for public open source projects? It seems like a lot of them could benefit from this.

Maybe they need a new category of paid but still public.

Might be a security thing rather than money?

> Over time — and Lambert seemed to be in favor of this — GitHub could also allow developers to sell their workflows and Actions through the GitHub marketplace.

Nope, it's about money.

Has anyone played with the concept of an environment tracker repository? If so, what is your experience?

The use case would be providing a source of truth for all versions of services deployed during a given release.
