Description

Love the product so far. Was wondering if there was an action to update the base branch that a pull request is compared to? If not, I think that would be a great feature to add. Something along the lines of:

pull_request_rules:
  - name: Change base
    conditions:
      - "title~=^\\[Release\\].+"
    actions:
      change_base:
        branch: release

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Review the existing pull-request rule and action configuration, then trace how the service integrates with GitHub branches; the issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Define the expected behavior for a conditional base-branch change and verify it with the project's existing action tests, if available.
