Calling a reusable workflow You call a reusable workflow by using the uses keyword. Unlike when you are using actions within a workflow, you call reusable workflows directly within a job, and not from within job steps. jobs.<job_id>.uses You reference reusable workflow files using one of the following syntaxes: *-> {owner}/{repo}/.github/workflows/{filename}@{ref} for reusable workflows in public and private repositories. * ./.github/workflows/{filename} for reusable workflows in the same repository.
