This action targets a very specific use-case that is not currently supported by Github Workflows. This action gives you the capability to run built containers.
Docker already supports running commands inside a docker image. See jobs.<jobs_id>.container. But it doesn't give you a clean way to run an image from a private repo or an image built on a previous step.
