You may use this action more than once in your job as multiple steps

steps:
  - name: Download from repo 1
    uses: robinraju/[email protected]
    with:
      repository: "owner/repo-1"
      latest: true
      fileName: "foo.zip"

  - name: Download from repo 2
    uses: robinraju/[email protected]
    with:
     repository: "owner/repo-2"
     latest: true
     fileName: "bar.zip"

Hi Robin thanks for the response...I know we can have it as multiple times but in my use case since we need a large number of artifacts the workflow becomes very large and not in a reusable manner. Can we have some workaround to dynamically run this actions for an array of variables?

let me know your suggestions on this..

Thanks

Maybe you can try using the matrix strategy for running your job

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-jobs/using-a-matrix-for-your-jobs

• Set an array of values
• Use this matrix value in the action step
  https://tomasvotruba.com/blog/2020/11/16/how-to-make-dynamic-matrix-in-github-actions/

jobs:
 download_files:
    strategy:
      matrix:
        files: [file1.zip, file2.zip]

steps:
  - name: Download from repos
    uses: robinraju/[email protected]
    with:
      repository: "owner/repo-1"
      latest: true
      fileName: ${{ matrix.files }}

I haven't tried this. but this is just an idea.

I agree we can use matrix for this...But in this example it is possible to download artifacts from a single repo. I need to download multiple release artifacts from multiple repos.
