Separate CI configuration from code that serves other purposes. When variables or settings affect both user-facing behavior and CI pipeline behavior, extract CI-specific logic into dedicated configuration files. This prevents unintended CI pipeline changes when updating user-facing functionality and allows for better coordination between code changes and CI environment updates.
For example, instead of:
# This controls both user warnings and CI runners
HOMEBREW_MACOS_OLDEST_SUPPORTED="13"
Refactor to:
# User-facing support declaration
HOMEBREW_MACOS_OLDEST_SUPPORTED="13"
# CI configuration in a separate file (github_runner_matrix.rb)
HOMEBREW_CI_MACOS_VERSIONS = ["13", "14"]
This separation allows you to control the timing of CI environment changes independently from feature changes, ensuring proper sequencing of: code changes, release tagging, and then CI environment updates.
