+ [2020-03-25T18:57:01Z] drleviathan I see. Yes that agrees with the stackoverflow link I just found about "wtf pipe in yml?"
+ [2020-03-25T19:05:06Z] drleviathan It becomes more clear: the "echo" lines are "workflow" commands. The echos are talking to the "runner" which is reading the output and can accept commands --> one step can "talk" to subsequent steps through "workflow commands" passed through the runner
+ [2020-03-25T19:13:45Z] drleviathan idly... I wonder if some custom script (e.g. executed deep inside some set of make rules) could print out "::set-env name=foo::bar" commands that would be interpreted by the runner
+ [2020-03-25T19:19:36Z] drleviathan if I were working at github I would probably try to be clever and force such commands to only work through echo, by supplying a modified version of the echo command under the hood. I will assume github devs are cleverer than I am and have had ample time to solve the hack paths that occur to me.
