MacOS runners are limited, so I'd like to avoid unnecessary workflow runs. When people push changes to a PR, they may not manually cancel previous CI runs that are in-progress. This PR instructs GitHub to automatically cancel in-progress workflows for the same PR number. For pushes, I'd like to preserve each run, so that we can see which commit failed -- also, when people push to their fork, we don't want to automatically cancel, and instead leave that up to the user to decide.
I was unsure on the best way to express this. GitHub's documentation gave the following example:
But
head_refis only the branch name, not the user name and branch name, so it would clash if users had the same branch name. Seemed easiest to use the PR number. Documentation on available fields is here.
