No, they are not. From GitGitGadget's own home page at https://gitgitgadget.github.io/:

	But... what is GitGitGadget?

	GitGitGadget itself is a GitHub App that is backed by an Azure
	Function written in pure Javascript which in turn triggers an
	Azure Pipeline written in Typescript (which is really easy to
	understand and write for everybody who knows even just a little
	Javascript), maintained at
	https://github.com/gitgitgadget/gitgitgadget.

In other words, GitGitGadget uses Azure Pipelines, not GitHub Actions.

This has nothing to do with GitGitGadget, it is the regular `check-whitespace.yml` check from our very own `.github/workflows/check-whitespace.yml`.

Ciao, Johannes
