Maybe I misunderstood Github / Act documentation. it seems "if" behaves differently on steps & jobs? can I disable a whole job like this only in Act, but not in Github? It would be nice to just not run the deploy job in Act but run it as usual in Github.

I'm about to propose to delete this section from the readme: https://github.com/nektos/act#skipping-steps and replace it with https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/720#issuecomment-874759066.
It's not the first time someone misunderstood it
