Inputs

github_token

Required - The GitHub Personal Access Token used to perform the merge action. This can be the Token provided by GitHub Workflows, or a custom token set at a workflow secret.

A custom token may be useful if performing actions that require Administrative privileges, such as overriding branch protection rules.

source_ref

Required - The source ref or branch name that you wish to merge into the target_branch.

target_branch

Required - The target branch you are merging into.

commit_message_template

Optional - Customize the commit message that gets added to the merge commit. This allows for templates enclosed in curly braces {}.

The only templates allowed at this time are {source_ref} and {target_branch}.
