3 Tips for Debugging GitHub Actions

I spend most of my time developing on the front ends that host on cloud environments. Most of these projects do not require me to ever inspect servers things as they just kind of work, which is nice. From my understanding, tmate is a tool that provides instant terminal sharing. You're able to activate a secure shell or SSH to explore and run commands. I perform a lot of my debugging with action-tmate to access the hosted runner environments.
