This is great! Didn't realise you could set up a template like this, having it set up in this way will definitely make our lives maintaining the scripts much easier, nicely done. Requested a few small changes and additions.

Few small comments on the article side.

I tried testing it on a dashboard by changing @main to @17-Deployment-yaml-template in the uses line of the dashboard's deploy script, but GitHub actions didn't understand the ref:

dfe-analytical-services/dfeshiny/.github/workflows/deploy-dashboard-template.yaml@17-Deployment-yaml-template

Any idea if there's a way we can reference this branch to give it a test run? Guess we can just test it properly once it's in main if it's awkward to reference it from this branch.

@rmbielby the pipeline has successfully been implemented on the transition matrices dashboard using the branch "17-Deployment-yaml-template", the initial error was due to an error in the workflow path. Here is the link to the successful run: https://github.com/dfe-analytical-services/Transition-matrices-dashboard/actions/runs/12792764689/job/35663986628

Note: I have removed the configuration options for installing the unit and terra dependencies. These dependencies are now pre-installed in the Docker image used for the workflow. As a result, they will always be available during pipeline runtime.

Just one last small change that we could do with for if people trigger from uncompleted PRs.
