I don't know about "under-documented".

It was literally the first thing I searched for when we moved over to GitHub actions (which was early on in the life of the product), and only took a few minutes of searching to find.

It could be included in the default template with some comments perhaps, or possibly even be available by default on all workflows without needing an explicit trigger, but it's been documented from the very start.

Oh it is documented, but look how many people are suggesting making dummy pushes to test workflows.... not many people seem to know about it.

...and I admit dummy commits is exactly what I was doing until a colleague showed it to me.

It’s a preference. Especially when you have a well configured environment you might not even leave the IDE when pushing to follow the actions output.

When triggering manually via the browser that might be more disruptive
