Handy article Hendrik. Can you help me understand this a bit deeper.

I'm curious why the double install?

-   name: Install run: yarn install
-   name: Rerun Install run: yarn install

And I don't think you explain this explicitly, but whats the thinking behind the generate and migrate jobs, when the migrate job contains the same steps as the generate.

Thanks for the comment! I'll be honest, I can't think of the reason off the top of my head. It's very possible this was a mistake I didn't catch.
