In this video, I walked through my use case for manually triggering my lighthouse-action.

Last July, GitHub shipped a way to create manual workflow dispatch for GitHub Actions, giving users the ability to create workflows manually triggered with the new workflow_dispatch event.

You will then see a 'Run workflow' button on the Actions tab, enabling you to trigger a run easily.

GitHub Actions: Manual triggers with workflow_dispatch github.blog/changelog/2020…

00:12 AM - 07 Jul 2020

I've actually wanted this for some time because it is helpful for running a workflow without cluttering up the commit history.

You can read more about workflow_dispatch in the announcement on the github.blog.
