Hi all, I want to have manual approval features for steps or workflows. As per the Github actions documentation, manual approvals is linked to environment creation and environment creation is available either for public repositories or require Github enterprise. Unfortunately I have github teams and thus above mentioned features are not available to me. Is there any custom solution or workaround to achieve manual approvals for workflows or steps in a workflow? What I have researched yet is
• we can create issue from workflows and on approval comment on those issues trigger another workflow which would do the deployment.
• Use manual triggers as defined here https://docs.github.com/en/actions/managing-workflow-runs/manually-running-a-workflow but that requires the workflows to be in master branch.
Is there any solution better than this available?

When a workflow is configured to run on the workflow_dispatch event, you can run the workflow using the Actions tab on GitHub, GitHub CLI, or the REST API.

Not really… not one that we’ve found

Simple Continuous Delivery for GitHub

and then for users using argocd, you can use confirmations in argocd instead
