Run CodeQL only on the template repository - #10
Merged
Conversation
Repos created from this template don't have code scanning enabled, so the CodeQL analyze/upload step fails and the branch appears to crash. Guard the analyze job to run only on the canonical template repo, which works across all triggers including schedule. Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Problem
When a student uses this repo via Use this template, the created repo doesn't have code scanning enabled. The CodeQL
analyzejob's upload step then fails, making the branch appear to crash for every student instance.Fix
Guard the
analyzejob in.github/workflows/codeql-analysis.ymlso it runs only on the canonical template repository:Why match by repo name instead of
is_templateThe
scheduletrigger doesn't populategithub.event.repository, so anis_template-based check would silently disable the weekly scan on the template too. Matching the source repo name works uniformly acrosspush,pull_request,workflow_dispatch, andschedule.
