Markdownlint Action is running twice #267
Description
I noticed that the markdownlint GitHub Action that we have is running twice on the same PR.
It is mostly a cosmetic problem and it also might be a bit confusing for people.
I know that we could prevent it by limiting the action workflow execution to pushes to master like in this GHA configuration. However that seems to have other undesirable consequences.
I wonder if there is some way to do this?
Example:
See the bottom of #261

hi @nschonni. I filed this issue to keep track of the duplicate Action execution that I am seeing.
I remember that we had already discussed this elsewhere but I couldn't find that conversation thread anymore. I think your argument for not limiting the execution to
masteronly was something related to enabling contributors to fix issues on a branch, without even having to open a PR, right?nschonni commentedon Jan 5, 2021
Yeah, you can look at something like https://github.com/fkirc/skip-duplicate-actions#skip-concurrent-workflow-runs to trim the extra runs

Hmm, I see. Feels a little bit strange to add yet one more Action to skip the extra runs of this Action.
That's why I was wondering if this is a shortcoming in GitHub Actions itself, or if we are just using it the wrong way.
It would help me if you could elaborate on the experience from a contributor perspective that you are after. I found the previous comment again where you had mentioned this:
Thanks for your help in understanding this, so that we can then explore wat options we have to solve this.
