I have noticed that currently even if a README or LICENSE change is made the entire CI runs once again for checks that won't be affected anyway this wastes CI minutes.
My idea is that: GitHub Actions supports path-based filtering, which can be used to skip CI runs when no files affecting compilation (e.g. .rs, Cargo.toml) are changed.
This could:
- Reduce unnecessary CI runs
- Save CI minutes
- Shorten feedback time for docs-only PRs
If this is something you'd consider, I’d be happy to follow up with a minimal PR using path filters.
Thanks for your time!
