Scheduled actions auto-run in forks #2106

Closed ocdtrekkie closed 7 months ago

ocdtrekkie commented 10 months ago

Your website indicates that minimizing climate impact is a significant concern, so I felt this was worth highlighting: Some of your actions, such as https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/blob/master/.github/workflows/binaries-mac-x64.yml run on a schedule. This will fire on every fork of your project new enough to include the Action. I noticed because I got an error message for a CI run, and disabled Actions on my fork, but for instance, here are automatic runs on another fork an hour ago: https://github.com/klockeph/hledger/actions/runs/6602384069

Thank you very much! I wondered why I've seen my binaries actions run in forked repos recently.

I'd like these to run on the schedule - as a fallback to notify me of issues if I don't trigger them for a long time - but only in the master repo.

dae7b352 has disabled the weekly scheduled workflows in simonmichael/hledger .

Hopefully @klockeph and any other forkers will pull this soon so they are not running wasted workflows every week.

Yeah actually I just deleted my fork, thanks for pointing this out :)

By search I found these other hledger forks currently running the weekly binaries workflows: @adept @silky @cardoe

And these forks which have the workflows but aren't running them (I wonder why): @chrislloyd @LudLaf @VOID404 @glguy @erictapen @gracig @chvp @cloudcompute

All, especially you first three, consider pulling the latest hledger master to disable these wasteful weekly builds. (And/or disable Actions in repo settings > Actions, as @DamienCassou did in his fork.)

And if you have any other tips on this topic (keeping workflows confined to the main repo), do share.

The most recent workflow run in those repos was 2 months ago (in @adept's), so I think wasteful runs are no longer happening and this can be closed.
