How to prevent GitHub from building executables for all platforms?

I'm trying to specify linux-x64 as the only platform (at least for now). But with no luck. GitHub Actions are always launching six builds (linux, mac, windows, x64 and x86). I think I tried everything. Currently I don't even have dontnet build or dotnet publish in my Workflow. Help me guys, this is madness xD https://github.com/Avaray/metadata-extractor-cli

      matrix:
        os: [ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, macos-latest]
        arch: [x64, x86]

if you only want it to run on linux, then only specify it to run on linux.

      matrix:
        os: [ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, macos-latest]
        arch: [x64, x86]

      matrix:
        os: [ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, macos-latest]
        arch: [x64, x86]

you're telling it to run on linux, windows, and macos in your workflows.yml file

yeah, you're specifically telling it to run your pipeline on 6 different types of runners (3 OSes * 2 architectures) if you just want ubuntu x64 just have that
