Explicitly check out main branch during backports#498
Merged
Conversation
The v7 release of `actions/checkout` introduced a major change where it will refuse to check out repository state that may be mutated by the pull request. This commit explicitly sets `ref: main` on the checkout step of the workflow as `korthout/backport-action` has logic for finding the pull request and cherry-picking commits out of it.
