cd hello-world-sample

# Open the `sdk/settings/settings.yaml` file and change the value of
# `projectId` to your project's ID.
$EDITOR sdk/settings/settings.

# From the hello-world-sample/sdk/ directory, run the following
# command to push the local version of your Actions project to the
# console as a draft version.
