Restrict trigger push branch for GitHub Workflow#677
Merged
Conversation
Feature branches rarely need their own CI runs: the code is already tested when a pull request is opened against a release branch. If the push trigger has no branch restriction and pull_request is also configured, every push to a branch with an open PR runs the workflow twice: once for the push and once for the PR synchronisation. Always give the push trigger an explicit list of branches: this stops branches created from a release branch from inheriting its workflow runs. see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=430408443#GitHubActionsRecommendedPractices-Restrictthepushtriggertospecificbranches Signed-off-by: Aurélien Pupier <apupier@ibm.com>
