Option to skip PR creation/conditional PR creation?

[NovaViper]

Hey I'm wondering if it's possible to gate PR creation behind a conditional. I'm working on a workflow in my NixOS config where it updates the flake.lock, then run nix flake check; which then executes everything that's located in my flake's checks output (which includes a hostName = nixosConfigurations.hostName.config.system.build.topLevel, to not only make sure the flake itself is valid but also see if it can actually build before creating the PR containing the changes from the flake update action

Is there a reason why you'd rather do this instead of having the PR itself run some CI that includes nix flake check?

@cole-h To avoid having a bunch of PRs made that the system can't actually use. Sometimes when I update my flake (since I use unstable-small), I get some lock updates that result in a package being broken and thus would have to rollback the flake update and wait til a fix propagated into unstable-small.

Now ifthe broken PRs can update when we found a functional flake.lock version; I could it that way then.
