GitHub Actions Efficiency

Audit GitHub Actions workflow efficiency without weakening required validation. Focus on runner time, wasted runs, broad triggers, and the fastest fixes that actually hold up under review.

When to Use

• CI minutes are growing faster than the repository's actual change volume
• Workflows run too often for docs-only, workflow-only, or narrow-scope changes
• You need to optimize caches, concurrency, trigger scope, or matrix breadth
• A repository is onboarding GitHub Actions and needs a lean baseline first
• A team wants a before/after efficiency report grounded in real workflow evidence
