+# Cancels redundant PR builds on circleci pipelines.
+# Expected to be run from Github Actions.
+#
+# This only works for PR branches as it relies on
+# env var GITHUB_HEAD_REF which only exists for PRs
+# in github actions.
+#
+# This is by design - generally we don't want to cancel
+# builds of commits on release or main branches as sometimes
+# we need to deploy different commits sequentially rather than
+# bundled. However commits on a PR generally should get squashed
+# as they are all part of the same feature or bugfix and we only
+# need to built the HEAD of it.
