New Project: GitHub Action for Branch Merging with File Exclusions
Publication date: 2024-12-25I've completed a project creating a GitHub Action that automatically merges one branch into another while excluding specific files. The updated branch is then pushed back to the repository.
During implementation, I discovered that a Personal Access Token (PAT) alone isn't sufficient for safely pushing changes — configuring SSH authentication was required for reliable repository interaction.
This project provided excellent hands-on experience. If you need to set up CI/CD with GitHub Actions, I invite you to check out my Fiverr Gig.
Happy coding!
