Correction in documentation for Skip job if the branch is empty
What does this MR do and why?
The current documentation for "Skip job if the branch is empty" suggests using
compare_to: 'refs/heads/main'
paths:
- '*'
to "matches and the job runs only when there are changes to the files in the branch". This is missleading since it only runs if files in the root folder of the project have changed. Any other change will not be recognized. To have the job run when there is a change in any file of the repository - '**/*'
needs to be added to the paths
.
