Set up GitHub Action to automatically make a PR to develop when something is merged to master

[kgodey]

One idea is https://github.com/marketplace/actions/action-automerge, but it might not work because of our branch protections. We need an action that makes a PR instead of attempting to merge.

Iam interested to work on this

[kgodey]

Go ahead @Vikrant-Khedkar. You won't be able to test this on this repo (because of permissions), so I recommend creating a test repo and testing the action there first.

[Vikrant-Khedkar]

can you explain to me a little more like should I fork it and then do it there.

[kgodey]

I would recommend testing on a brand new repo rather than a fork so any test commits you make don't end up in the commit history here. Any repo with a master and develop branch should work.

[Vikrant-Khedkar]

okay

@Vikrant-Khedkar It looks like there's a new version of that action out, v4. https://github.com/peter-evans/create-pull-request. Please use that instead of v3.
