Description of Changes
The API endpoint to update branch does not allow updating branches from forks, even if the PR specifies that maintainers are allowed to push commits on it.
As a solution, forks are now updated via
git
instead of the GitHub API: https://github.com/sequelize/pr-auto-update-and-handle-conflicts/blob/74929c430b8843e691e7b83d229d8d13d78d89e3/src/action.ts#L331-L398This update operation requires using the PAT of a maintainer instead of a bot as the permissions of the bot do not apply to forks
PR & workflow run showing that this works:
Also, it looks like the changelog deletion still does not work :(
