Set default Timeout on Github action pipeline

Question

Normally, my pipelines take 15 minutes to execute.

Recently, for some strange reasons, some pipelines take between 45 minutes and 6 hours to fail.

My question

Answer 1

You can change default time limit in two ways

• job.<id>.timeout-minutes sets a timeout for a whole job
• job.<id>.steps.timeout-minutes sets a timeout for a single step

Your scenario:

my-job:
 runs-on:         ubuntu-latest
 timeout-minutes: 30
