Single Push Without Github Action

Question

I have a github repository for which I have an CI script set up using Github Actions. On 95% of the pushes into main, we need to run the script, so the script is triggered by push on main. Is there a way to push without executing actions as an exception. I am imagining something like:

git push main --no-action

Answer 1

You can have GitHub Actions skip a push event by including [skip ci] or any of the variants of that in your commit message as described in the GitHub Actions docs on skipping workflow runs.
