Explanation

To access the outputs in the dependent job, use the needs.<job_id>.outputs.<output_name> syntax. For example, the following job accesses the output1 and output2 outputs defined in job1: # Assume job1 is defined as above runs-on: ubuntu-latest OUTPUT1: ${{needs.job1.outputs.output1}} OUTPUT2: ${{needs.job1.outputs.output2}} run: echo "$OUTPUT1 $OUTPUT2" https://docs.github.com/en/actions/how-tos/write-workflows/choose-what-workflows-do/pass-job-
