Build Step - CI/CD Glossary Definition
A build step is one discrete command or action within a CI job.
A build step is a single unit of work in a job, either a shell command (run:) or a reusable action (uses:). Steps in a job run sequentially and share the same runner and workspace.
Step failure behavior
By default a nonzero exit from a step fails the job and skips later steps. Add continue-on-error: true or if: always() to keep running (for example to always upload logs).
