Information about the requested update

Missing key concept: Passing data between jobs using outputs

In the Module assessment, question 5 asks:

5. How can you pass data between jobs in a GitHub Actions workflow?

  • By using the needs keyword.
  • By using the outputs keyword. (Correct)
  • By using the env keyword.
  • By using the secrets keyword.

However, job outputs and passing data between jobs are not covered anywhere in the whole module.

I suggest adding a brief explanation and example of defining and consuming job outputs (along with needs) in one of the following units:

  • Customize your workflow with environment variables
  • Cache, share, and debug workflows
