What is GitHub’s Actions artifact and how does it enable data sharing between jobs?

Accepted Answer

GitHub's Actions artifact facilitates data sharing between jobs by uploading files or directories during a workflow job. This enables subsequent jobs to download the artifact, even if they run on separate runners. The correct answer highlights the use of actions/upload-artifact and actions/download-artifact. Incorrect options misinterpret the artifact's purpose.
