@robert-s-lee - Thank for raising this issue. I agree, your suggested change would avoid using the forward slash so would be usable across the OSs.

The change required is, therefore, as follows.

On lines 87-88 of the docs file content/actions/creating-actions/creating-a-composite-action.md, change:

- run: ${{ github.action_path }}/goodbye.sh
  shell: bash

to:

- run: echo "${{ github.action_path }}" >> $GITHUB_PATH
  shell: bash          
- run: goodbye.sh
  shell: bash
