Only Changes to work with commit comments
Problem to solve
Sometimes its necussury to run pipeline step when commit does not direct changes, but changes were done in external deps. There is now no way to detect these changes using Only filter.
Target audience
Engineers willing to run pipeline task regardless of its state. My particular case is tightly coupled with git monorepo principles.
Further details
Having changes one common folder in monorepo i would like to specify what project should be rebuild/redeployed and not do this for all existing projects.
Proposal
Let engineer to set comment to filter for in Only section of CI yaml file.
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
I can specify comment in CI yaml file to force step to run.
