The runner is the application that runs a job from a GitHub Actions workflow. It is used by GitHub Actions in the [hosted virtual environments](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments), or you can [self-host the runner](https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/about-self-hosted-runners) in your own environment.
## Understanding How Actions Work
**New to GitHub Actions development?** The runner (this repository) is compiled C# code that executes actions. Actions themselves typically do NOT require compilation:
- **JavaScript Actions** run source `.js` files directly
- **Container Actions** use Docker images (pre-built or built from Dockerfile)
- **Composite Actions** are YAML step definitions
📖 See [docs/action-execution-model.md](docs/action-execution-model.md) for detailed information and [examples](docs/examples/action-execution-examples.md).
## Get Started
For more information about installing and using self-hosted runners, see [Adding self-hosted runners](https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/adding-self-hosted-runners) and [Using self-hosted runners in a workflow](https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/using-self-hosted-runners-in-a-workflow)
