This pull request refactors the branch-create GitHub Action to improve input handling, type safety, and error robustness. It also updates the compiled artifact to ensure the distributed
dist/index.jsaligns with the latest source changes.Key Improvements
1. Enhanced Input Handling
github_token,owner,repo,branch,new_name) now include.trim()normalization to prevent whitespace-related issues.2. Improved Type Safety
run()function now returnsPromise<void>with JSDoc documentation for clarity and maintainability.3. Robust Error Handling
unknowncatch block with aninstanceof Errorguard.4. Safer Async Execution
run()invocation withvoid run()to explicitly signal the intentionally unhandled promise.5. Updated Compiled Artifact
dist/index.jsto reflect all refactoring work and maintain consistency with the Action's distributed version.Motivation
These changes improve code clarity, maintainability, and runtime safety. They also align the Action with best practices for TypeScript-based GitHub Actions, reducing the likelihood of silent failures or malformed input scenarios.
Impact
No breaking changes.
The Action’s external behavior remains consistent, with improvements applied internally to resilience, maintainability, and reliability.
