What does this PR do? What is the motivation?
The workflow that updates the synthetic-worker version was failing on the
commit
command when it didn't find any changes to the target file. Although the workflow wasn't broken (it just exited if no change was found), this behavior was confusing. This PR checks the existing version and writes a GitHub output variable that we can use to conditionally run thecommit
andpush
steps in the workflow. This should prevent the workflow from failing if there's nothing to commit.test run: https://github.com/DataDog/documentation/actions/runs/11147491598/job/30981945184
