#2 is not a slam dunk because the CI system loses insight into your build process if you just use one big script.

Does anyone have a way to mark script sections as separate build steps with defined artifacts? Would be nice to just have scripts with something like.

    BeginStep("Step Name") 
    ... 
    EndStep("Step Name", artifacts)

They could noop on local runs but be reflected in the github/gitlab as separate steps/stages and allow resumes and retries and such. As it stands there's no way to really have CI/CD run the exact same scripts locally and get all the insights and functionality.

I haven't seen anything like that but it would be nice to know.
