GitHub's ci skip: Your Shortcut to Streamlined Development

ci skip on GitHub lets you bypass the CI pipeline for specific commits, saving time when making small changes or testing experimental features.

How it works:

Add ci skip to your commit message (case-insensitive).
Skips workflows triggered by on: push or on: pull_request.
Subsequent commits won't be skipped automatically.

When to use it:

Minor, non-critical changes.
Testing experimental features.
Reverting changes quickly.

Best practices:

Communicate clearly in commit messages.
Consider alternatives (e.g., separate branches).

Examples of skip ci messages:

[skip ci]
[ci skip]
[no ci]
[skip actions]
[actions skip]

ci skip is a valuable tool for streamlining development, but use it responsibly alongside best practices to maintain code quality and project integrity. For further documentaion read the official documentation.
