Share concurrency between different repos of an organization.

Body

Is there a way to share concurrency between two repos of an organization, to make sure only one job is running at the same time?

If I do set the same concurrency key for both action of those separated repos of a same organization, is it going to work?

Hi @mohamedzhioua Thanks for the answer.

Unfortunately, I've already read those two docs. articles, and that's what let me here. I get how the concurrency mode works, but it isn't specified whether concurrency can be shared across multiple repositories of an organization...

This morning, I asked the same question after seeing that two jobs from two repos with the same concurrency group ran simultaneously.
You're right - there is no clear answer in the docs.
But https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-jobs/using-concurrency says: "If you have multiple workflows in the same repository, concurrency group names must be unique across workflows to avoid canceling in-progress jobs or runs from other workflows."

So I understand that unfortunately, concurrency doesn't work for different repos.
