Only test on main

[keyvaann]

Only run the full tests when the CI jobs are running on the main branch or a PR to the main branch

Very elegant! I think that this section:

pull_request:
    branches:
      - main
      - dev

will cause the tests only to run when there is a PR from a branch that is named main or dev. What we want is to run tests on any PR that targets main or dev. Would this work:

pull_request_target:
    branches:
      - main
      - dev

I think the difference between pull_request and pull_request_target is more about security rather than functionality.

But my concern remains:

will cause the tests only to run when there is a PR from a branch that is named main or dev.
