Added a concurrency block to the CI/CD workflow to automatically cancel previous in-progress workflow runs when new pushes are made to the same branch or PR. This reduces wasted CI resources when multiple pushes are made to the same PR branch.
Problem
Currently, when multiple commits are pushed rapidly to the same PR branch, each push triggers a new CI/CD workflow run while previous runs continue executing. This leads to:
Solution
Added a concurrency control block to
.github/workflows/cicd.yaml
:The concurrency group uses
${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.head_ref || github.ref }}
which means:github.head_ref
)github.ref
)When
cancel-in-progress: true
is set, GitHub automatically cancels any running workflows in the same concurrency group when a new workflow starts.Testing
This change can be verified by:
The behavior will be visible in the GitHub Actions UI where cancelled runs will show a "cancelled" status.
