Conditional GitHub action based on commit message

It's really annoying having a certain build/deployment GitHub action run on every push.

You can use this to run it based on the commit message's content:

name: Publish on: push: branches: - master jobs: publish: if: "contains(github.event.head_commit.message, '[build]')" 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Feel free to change the '[build]' part with whatever string you want.

You can also put a ! at the beginning to invert the logic (Run the action on commit messages that DON'T contain a certain string)
