+# Inheritance of vars
+
+## Using a "common" repo
+1. Create "common" repo with vars
+2. Create composite action (just consists of other actions)
+3. Check out "common" repo --> b/c this is another repo, need to pass in credentials to clone (there is a way to avoid passing credentials, and that way is to make the "common" repo a composite action as well that doesn't do anything.....before actions run, it clones the repo, so you can find that repo path on the runner and take the files from it)
+4. Check out "local" repo
+5. Run the variable groups action and pass in the "common" repo's variable file
+6. Run the variable groups action and pass in the "local" repo's variable file
+
+
+## Use org-level vars/secrets
+If you use vars:
+- Order is: Env, Repo, Org
+- if you have a handful of org level vars, then since you are creating most of the reusable workflows, just map them in there to the `env`
