What should I check first when GitHub Actions fails?

Question

A failure needs to be narrowed down before settings are changed or operations retried. Which evidence best separates application errors from environment and dependency problems?

Tasadduq Burney · Accepted Answer

Identify the first failed step and compare the event, branch, permissions and runner environment with a successful run. Check whether the job was skipped by a condition or blocked by environment rules. Re-running a job will not repair a deterministic missing permission or malformed command.
