GithubAction -- use a workflow from another workflow

It's called reusable workflow.

I have a workflow for test, and I have another workflow for release. Everytime I release a version, I want to have test passed before run release jobs.

What I have to do is to add workflow_call on my workflow

# ci.yaml
name: ci-build-and-test

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
  pull_request:
  workflow_call:

jobs:
  - (steps to checkout, setup dependency and run test)

then I can call it manually from another workflow (yaml file) by using uses and path to the ci.yaml file.
If you're using the reusable workflow from different repository then you need to add your github organisation and repo name.

# cd.yaml
name: cd-build-and-publish

on:
  release:
    types:
      - released

jobs:
  compliance:
    if: github.event.release.target_commitish == 'main'
    uses: ./.github/workflows/ci.yaml
