Hi @AlexiyOrlov! Thanks for this issue. I'd definitely like to smooth out the process for newbies!
Here are some suggestions for the other two ideas:
Because we do use "l" and not "1" in the example, I don't think we need to add any explanatory text. One thought is that we could add

What article on docs.github.com is affected?
https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/creating-actions/creating-a-docker-container-action
What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?
As a total newbie to actions and Docker, I made a couple of silly mistakes when trying out the example.
First, in the
entrypoint.sh
file, I wrote-1
instead of-l
.Second, the docker couldn't run the .sh file because of permissions, so I had to add
RUN chmod +x /entrypoint.sh
to the dockerfile.Also line
uses: actions/hello-world-docker-action@v1
shows how to use published action. You should add that unpublished action is used viauses: [username]/[reponame]@version
.So I think these 3 things should be pointed out there.
