Issue

When dependabot opens a PR to update a dependency, it runs the whole ci pipeline twice. Once by push and once by pull request event. We could actually save one ci run when we would ignore the dependabot branch in push events.

We could actually configure, that only push events into master, main and next result in a pipeline run.

Will take a look.

Less CI runs would mean less resources/bandwidth wasted and less time waiting.

[Uzlopak]

Exactly. When we e.g. activated license-check it always run twice, clogging the github runners.

Thank you. :)

something like the following would solve this, not just for Dependabot PRs but for all PRs:

on:
  push:
    branches:
     - main
     - master
     - next
    paths-ignore:
      - 'docs/**'
      - '*.md'
  pull_request:
    paths-ignore:
      - 'docs/**'
      - '*.md'

Your recent PR to fastify-helmet ran it twice as well: fastify/fastify-helmet#195
