How to Use Feature Flags in GitHub Actions CI/CD Workflows
GitHub Actions is a great way to automate builds, tests, deployments, and other CI/CD tasks. But not every job needs to run on every push.
Sometimes you may want to skip a long-running test suite, pause a deployment, avoid unnecessary build minutes, or only deploy when a feature, release, or content update is ready. GitHub Actions already supports conditional jobs with if expressions, but those conditions usually live in your workflow file or depend on repository settings.
That works well for static rules. But when you want to control a workflow dynamically without editing YAML or manually changing GitHub environment variables, feature flags can give a cleaner option.
In this guide, we'll use ConfigCat feature flags in GitHub Actions to decide if the build and deploy jobs should run.
