Description

One of the premises that leaded to this toolkit being born was that changes on non user-facing parts of a repository, such as build system, should not result in a new user-facing release.

However, as of now dependency bumps of github actions will result in a new release. An easy way to prevent this is to add the .github to excluded-dirs in generate-yaml.

Doing this by default is very tricky, so allegedly the best way to do so is to put it on every example we write.
