Say you have a workflow that runs hourly, but once a day you want the workflow to run slightly differently - without duplicating the entire workflow.
\nThanks to @BrightRan, here's the solution. Use the following pattern in an if: condition for a step:
github.event_name == 'schedule' && github.event.schedule == '20 17 * * *'\nLonger example:
\nname: Fetch updated data and deploy\n\non:\n push:\n schedule:\n - cron: '5,35 * * * *'\n - cron: '20 17 * * *'\n\njobs:\n build_and_deploy:\n runs-on: ubuntu-latest\n steps:\n # ...\n - name: Download existing .db files\n if: |-\n !(github.event_name == 'schedule' && github.event.schedule == '20 17 * * *')\n env:\n DATASETTE_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.DATASETTE_TOKEN }}\n run: |-\n datasette-clone https://biglocal.datasettes.com/ dbs -v --token=$DATASETTE_TOKEN
