GitHub Actions on PR don't run over your commit by default

• filipesilva 3y ago
  Instead, they run over a merge commit from the base branch. This means CI is always running over commits that don't exist anywhere in the repo, and change whenever master changes. If you re-run GHA after master changes, CI is testing over different code. Posting because every senior developer that I know is surprised to learn this.

    Still wrong title. Do a Tell HN: and use the original title. with your comments
    • filipesilva 3y ago
      So the submission should be: Title: Tell HN: GitHub Actions on PR don't run over your commit by default URL: empty Text: link plus the comment I had is this right?

        Not right, but better. If you link directly, the name must be the title of the url
