Is there a way to not make CodeCov decreases result in this red cross that Github displays? See figure for an example. All tests pass, documentation builds fine, but CodeCov coverage decreased by a few percent and now you get this ugly red cross on the Github repo page, instead of the nice green check mark. Is there a way to have Github ignore the CodeCov decrease when it decides whether to display a red cross or a green check mark?

(Actually in that figure there is still a running test, but ignore that).

You want to change the threshold, see the codecov docs: [Status Checks](https://docs.codecov.com/docs/commit-status)

Here is how I have CodeCov setup for my packages:

[.codecov.yml](https://github.com/halleysfifthinc/Peaks.jl/blob/c6f7a6a778c0b3329ae78b6d073acf6de252931b/codecov.yml):

```yaml
coverage:
  status:
    project:
      default:
        informational: true
    patch:
      default:
        informational: true
comment: false

```

I believe that the `informational` flag is what makes it a non-failing check.
