The golden rule is "will I need to make a dummy commit to test this?" and if yes, find a different way to do it. All good rules in sibling comments here derive from this rule.

You not want to ever need to make dummy commits to debug something in CI, it's awful. As a bonus, following this rule also means better access to debugging tools, local logs, "works on CI but not here" issues, etc. Finally if you ever want to move away from GitHub to somewhere else, it'll be easy.
