Question re: the GitHub Pulumi action (we haven't moved to Deployments yet):
In a monorepo with multiple Pulumi projects, is it possible to run two Pulumi Actions in a single workflow? I'm getting a clash when the 2nd action is attempting to run, saying that /home/runner/.pulumi isn't empty. I can't see anything at <https://github.com/pulumi/actions> that helps me work around this.

I have never tried to run multiple at a time. For context are these the same stack or different stacks?

Would you mind sharing what your Github action file looks like?

preview_two_apps.yaml

Final step errors out with something like
```Install destination is /home/runner/.pulumi

<@U012UJTT55M> running the two actions in separate jobs? Different jobs run on different agents as far as I know. So two Pulumi Actions running on different jobs shouldn't interfere each other.

I think you could even use a matrix, if you have more than two Pulumi Actions to run.

Yes, that probably would have worked. I actually split things into two separate workflows, which may have been overkill.

Separate Workflows solve the issue with the same approach, but on a higher level.

I have many examples where I use matrix to run multiple at the same time.

• <https://github.com/bjerkio/conf>
• <https://github.com/getbranches/conf>


Is that a matrix of 1 item (`include`) with two possible values? A 1x2 matrix? That's taking a feature and really making it your own :slightly_smiling_face:

I can't find the matrix in getbranches, just in bjerkio?

If you want, we can schedule a quick call and I can show you?

Thanks! I think the example I've found has been more than helpful. I didn't even know about the feature yesterday. The GitHub docs plus your example have got me well underway.
