If at least one path matches a pattern in the paths filter, the workflow runs. For example, the following workflow would run anytime you push a JavaScript file (.js).
on:
push:
paths:
- '**.js'
{% data reusables.pull_requests.path-filtering-required-workflows %}
If a workflow is skipped due to path filtering, branch filtering, or a commit message, then checks associated with that workflow will remain in a "Pending" state. A pull request that requires those checks to be successful will be blocked from merging.
