@andrewtavis any thoughts on how to test the changes? The 5 workflows all run because this change has not been integrated yet. I'm thinking of how we can test this before we merge

[DeleMike]

This change was to test, but it is not working because this PR has not been merged.

I think the problem is that we are removing most of:

push:
    branches: [main]

pull_request:
    branches: [main]
    types: [opened, reopened, synchronize]

Is it possible that we just add in the paths and leave branches and types above?

[andrewtavis]

Without all of [opened, reopened, synchronize] it will only run on the first commit of the PR, not further ones.

hmm...interesting point. I will make an update asap. It should be possible...

@andrewtavis I have done some tests and it works. but please verify.

Looks great to me, @DeleMike! Thanks for the quick work here and the documentation of the workflows in action 🚀 Looking forward to coming PRs where we can save some time/minutes in the actions!
