I have a folder structure that looks something like this.
- folder1
- file1
- *other files*
- folder2
- file1
- *other files*
- .gitignore
- package.json
- *other files*
I want to run my GitHub Actions workflow on push, only if any of the changed/pushed files are located in the folder1 directory/folder.
The normal syntax involves a path filter
on:
push:
paths:
- folder1/**
If that is not enough, you also have the GitHub Action Path Filter.
Path filters only work at workflow level.
on:
push:
paths:
- 'sub-project/**'
If you want to apply this at job level, look for changed-files
You will need this if also wanting to filter pull request runs
on:
push:
paths:
- 'folder1/**'
pull_request:
paths:
- 'folder1/**'
You can also add branches and remove some lines using square brackets.
on:
push:
branches: ['main']
paths: ['folder/**']
