Action to open downstream PRs

jenstroeger opened this issue · 2 comments

It would be very useful to have an action, triggered by a ReleaseEvent, which creates new PRs for a number of “registered” repositories with the changes of the release. Here, registered repositories can be hard-coded into the action as a list.

In that context, it would be useful to prevent registered downstream repos from modifying certain files (e.g. the Makefile) because those changes should be applied in the template repo and then waterfall downstream. (Further discussion here or git diff’s filter option.)
