Return the run attempt of the current job.

The job-run-attempt action helps us to implement the workflow to Prevent/Block or Conditionally rerun the subsequent steps in the job based on the run attempt.

run-attempt == 1 : indicates the first run of the job

run-attempt > 1 : indicates the Rerun of the job

Include the job-run-attempt action in your workflow.

      - name: Testing Job Run Attempt action
        id: runst
        uses: ambilykk/job-run-attempt@main
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
            
      - name: Execute only first time; no rerun
        if: ${{steps.runst.outputs.run-attempt == 1}}
        run: | 
          echo " Execute only once; no rerun allowed"

Below screenshot shows the execution of the action.

1. First execution - executed all steps

2. Rerun of the 'second' job - executed only the action; subsequent steps skipped
