Introducing the skipped check run and check suite conclusion
If a check run or suite is never started, you'll see the skipped
conclusion. This is a common check run conclusion for GitHub Actions that have a job using an if
condition.
We created the skipped
conclusion to help distinguish this type of scenario from when a check run or suite is cancelled
. A check run or suite has the cancelled
conclusion when the check run was planned or started but then stopped. For example, a conclusion
can be cancelled
due to manual intervention or possibly some service issues that cause the check run to stop.
