What kind of change does this PR introduce?
CI fix
What is the current behavior?
Due to path filtering, PRs which only change Markdown files will never run the steps in
docker.yml
:scorecard/.github/workflows/docker.yml
Lines 20 to 30 in c6d7680
Since these checks are (currently) required, PRs which only change Markdown files can never be merged. See #2565 and #2508. As long as these checks are required, there's no native way to solve this for reasons summarized well in this blog post.
What is the new behavior (if this is a feature change)?**
A third party action is used to detect doc only changes. Since skipped checks count as passing for required checks, this allows for doc only changes to merge.
