Coercion to boolean¶

It’s really easy to confuse

type	coerced value	mnemonic	true values	false values
string	`!= ''`	true if nonempty	`'false'`	`''` (only)
number	`!= 0`	true if nonzero	`-1`, `2.5`	`0` (only)
null	`false`	always false	∅	𝕌
object	`true`	always true, even if empty	𝕌	∅
array	`true`	always true, even if empty	𝕌	∅

workflow key	`github`	`needs`	`strategy`	`matrix`	`job`	`runner`	`env`	`vars`	`secrets`	`steps`	`inputs`	`jobs`	FNs
