Question

How does conditional execution in GitHub Actions determine whether a step runs on a specific branch?

What have you tried?

I created a conditional workflow that runs a deploy step only when pushing to the main branch using:

if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'

I tested it by pushing to both develop and main branches and observed the different behavior.

Relevant Documentation

Link any relevant documentation you've read:
