According to the documentation :

Values can span multiple lines using | or >. Spanning multiple lines using a “Literal Block Scalar” | will include the newlines and any trailing spaces. Using a “Folded Block Scalar” > will fold newlines to spaces; it’s used to make what would otherwise be a very long line easier to read and edit. In either case the indentation will be ignored

    Just to make perfectly clear: `|` and `>` are yaml constructs and not specific to GitHub actions. – DavidS Jan 10 '23 at 23:35
  • Ahh, @DavidS, good point, thanks! For someone (like me) new to both GHA and YAML, this was not at all obvious at first sight. – Sz. Jan 22 '23 at 17:43
