Allow Forcing PR Creation When No Files Changed

[TheSench]

I have a deployment process that runs based on commits being pushed to a branch. Occasionally, I need to re-trigger that process by adding a PR with an empty commit (no files changed). I am trying to automate that process using this action, but it short-circuits due to there being no file changes in my empty commit.

I'd like to have the option to tell the action to force the PR creation, even if no files have changed (I at least have a new commit to merge).

The check is looking at commit hashes, not doing a file-diff between the two commits, so something is going wrong on my side when it is creating the branch. This action is working as expected.

Nevermind, it actually is doing a file-diff check:
https://github.com/repo-sync/pull-request/blob/master/entrypoint.sh#L108-L113

I would like to be able to specify an option that allows this check to be skipped.

Thank you for opening this issue. Per the updated README, we are in process of archiving this repository, and encourage using gh pr create directly in your workflows instead.
