collect-public-packages

This action scans your workspace (Based on pnpm-workspace.yaml and the workspace propery in your package.json file) for packages and outputs the name of every package where the property private is explicitly set to false. It will then check if the package at that version exists on the registry, and partitions the result based on that.

Use

Construct a job matrix strategy to release every public package in a repository.

A job matrix would fail to construct if its array is empty. For this reason this action only outputs non-empty arrays. If there are no public packages within the repository it outputs nothing. This makes it trivial to use the same output as a condition for the job.

When there are no public packages, the job won't run because of the condition
