Workflows fail when Copilot creates pull requests. Skip execution when the actor is a Copilot bot.

Changes

  • welcome.yml: Skip when actor starts with copilot-
    if: "!startsWith(github.actor, 'copilot-')"

This condition checks for usernames prefixed with copilot-, matching GitHub's Copilot bot naming pattern, and prevents the welcome workflow from sending messages to Copilot bot accounts.


✨ Let Copilot coding agent set things up for you — coding agent works faster and does higher quality work when set up for your repo.

This workflow is fine and should not be adjusted.

Reverted the changes to update-changelog.yml in commit 16a2756. Only the welcome.yml workflow now skips execution for Copilot users.

This now seems to work based on the current action runs. Perhaps I’ll reopen this or if needed.
