How can I implement job retries in GitHub Actions?

You can implement job retries in GitHub Actions by using the retries keyword in your job definition. For example:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    retries: 3
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Run build
        run: npm run build

What happens if a job fails after the maximum retries?

If a job fails after the maximum number of retries, the workflow will be marked as failed, and no further jobs will run unless you have specified a continue-on-error option.

Can I set different retry limits for different jobs?

Yes, you can set different retry limits for each job by specifying the retries keyword individually in each job's configuration.

Is there a way to notify me when a job fails after retries?

Yes, you can use the on: failure event in your workflow to trigger notifications, such as sending an email or a message to a Slack channel.
