See https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/about-github-hosted-runners#preinstalled-software and https://github.com/actions/setup-dotnet

      # TODO: Some .NET codebases with GitHub Actions workflows seem to run `dotnet restore`, `dotnet build` and `dotnet test` as separate steps. Why?
