Github Action Sync Branches

An action to create a pull request between two branches.

Example Usage

This action can be used to create a sync pull request when a branch gets a closed PR. This helps to keep downstream branches in sync.

Here's an example of a .github/workflows/*.yml file to trigger the action:

name: Sync master/develop branches

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master

jobs:
  create_sync_pull_request:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: dequelabs/action-sync-branches@v1
        with:
          github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          pr-title: 'chore: merge master into develop'
          pr-reviewers: scurker
          pr-labels: chore

Configuration

Note: If you need to assign team reviewers you will need to use a personal access token, as the GITHUB_TOKEN generated via an action does not have right permissions to assign teams.

• github-token (required) - needed to interact with github api
• debug (default: false) - logs github api interactions to console
• head (default: master, required) - head branch to sync from
• base (default: develop, required) - target branch for the created pull request
• pr-template (default: .github/pull_request_template.md) - path to pull request template
• pr-body - body of pull request, will use pr-template as the default if this is not specified
• pr-title (default: chore: merge master into develop, required) - title for the created pull request
• pr-labels - labels to add to the created pull request
• pr-reviewers - reviewers to tag on the created pull request
• pr-team-reviewers - team reviewers to tag on the created pull request
• pr-assignees - assignees to tag on the created pull request
