for, foreach and other loops in github-actions

There is a "if" available in github-actions.

Is there any way to do use loops? (for, foreach, while , ...)

something like 

- foreach val in ['val1', 'val2']

In one word - no. But there is a matrix mechanism that probably will help you. Share more details about the problem you want to solve using loops.

Looping is not currently possible, especially if you consider looping by using the same runner.

Matrix can be used to run a variable number of jobs, but that adds a considerable complexity and huge increase in resource usage, so directly slower results.

Maybe not what you are looking for, but you can use a run in the action

  - name: Print things
    run: |
      for x in ${{ y }}; do
        echo "$x"
      done
