File changes on first commit of new branch

[mike-potter]

When setting the base to the name of the current branch, it works correctly on future commits. But the first time the job runs (no commit since branch created) none of the files are detected as being changed.

I need a way to run a job the first time a new branch is pushed, or if certain files in the branch have changed. Can this be done?

(I can potentially do this in the latest jobs when I look for the changed output potentially, but wanted to check if I was missing something)

Nevermind, I think it's actually working fine. I had a bad conditional:

if: ${{ github.event.push }}

That came from some example copy/paste somewhere. I changed it to:

if: ${{ github.event_name == 'push' }}

and now it seems to work properly.
