I love GitHub Actions, but holy moly, I really want manual approvers before I deploy into an environment!!!! My typical workflow would send my pull request to a dynamically provisioned PR specific staging environment and then to teststaging production. And I totally need manual approvers between environments!

I’m keen to test out this new feature.
They also announced auto-merging PRs. I don’t know of that makes your use of mergify redundant now? https://youtu.be/AiWjanAdD3s?t=380

(mergify is pretty powerful - I would be surprised if their implementation is as powerful)

It seems like it’s a lot easier to copy and paste workflows and make subtle changes rather than try to parameterize workflows by trigger…or am I missing something?

It depends on what scale you need to manage the workflows

copy and paste is enough for me until that comes out - just wanted to make sure that I wasn’t overlooking something in the meantime
