Auto-Rerunning Flaky Workflows

If you'd like Colimit to automatically re-run flaky workflows, so you can put off fixing them for now, you can selectively pick which GitHub Actions Workflows you'd like Colimit to re-run.

Choosing which Workflows to Auto-Rerun

Its common to rerun things like linters, type checkers, unit tests, and integration tests. In contrast, you probably don't want Colimit to automatically rerun things like:

• Deployment workflows
• Package publishing workflows
• Other side-effecting workflows

Properties of Colimit's Auto-Reruns

There are three properties of Colimit w.r.t. auto-rerunning flaky workflows that are important to know:

1. Colimit will never auto-rerun any Workflow by default, you must manually enable them.
2. Colimit will only rerun a flaky Workflow if it hasn't already been rerun before, so it won't infinite loop.
3. Colimit will only rerun the jobs of the workflow that failed, rather than retrunning the entire workflow, to save you time and money.
