Summary

GitHub has introduced new features to GitHub Actions that allow users to re-run only failed jobs or a single job within workflows, enhancing efficiency by saving time and potentially reducing costs. These improvements come in response to user feedback and are designed to streamline the process of handling complex workflows, which often involve multiple jobs and dependencies. This update also includes navigation enhancements that help users better analyze previous workflow runs by offering a comprehensive view of job logs and attempts. Users can access these features through a new drop-down menu for failed jobs and re-run options directly from the logs view, with partial re-runs available via the REST API and command-line tools. GitHub encourages user feedback on these updates to continue refining the service.
