We already have similar actions for cherry picking right?

Ah, I see! This is using GitHub Desktop. What I'm trying to do is cherry-pick a commit remotely.
The idea is that GitLab has a feature where you can cherry-pick a commit to any branch directly from the Web UI. I’ve tried to replicate that functionality using a GitHub Action.

Looks good, but in future let's see if we can automate conflict resolution using copilot agent workflows
