I am trying to have a setup where I DON'T deploy if I am updating specific files on my GH repo. In other words, if I am updating my README.md , I don't wanna redeploy.

My understanding is that to do that I need to use GitHub actions, and to activate Wait for CI. The problem is that the option is only available when the project is connected to a branch, which also automatically triggers the autodeploy.

I then end up with two overlapping deployments (one from GitHub integration, the other from railway up.

I am looking for some guidance, thank you

This is my deploy.yml
