Paths Filter
A GitHub Action that conditionally runs workflow steps and jobs based on changed files in PRs, feature branches, or pushes.
What is Paths Filter?
Paths Changes Filter is a GitHub Action that conditionally executes workflow steps or jobs based on which files have been modified in a pull request, feature branch, or push. It solves the problem of running slow tasks like integration tests or deployments only for changed components, saving time and resources, especially in monorepo setups where GitHub's built-in path filters are insufficient.
Developers and DevOps engineers managing CI/CD pipelines on GitHub, particularly those working with monorepos or complex projects where selective testing and deployment are needed.
It provides granular control over workflow execution beyond GitHub's native path filters, supports multiple Git workflows, and integrates seamlessly with existing actions to optimize CI/CD efficiency and reduce costs.
