New Project Completion: GitHub Action for Branch Merging with File Exclusions

Date: 2024-12-25

I’m excited to announce the completion of a recent project where I developed a GitHub Action that automates the process of merging one branch into another while excluding specific files from the merge. Afterward, the updated branch is pushed back to the repository.

During the project, I discovered that for secure pushes, SSH key authentication was required instead of just using a Personal Access Token (PAT). This required me to configure SSH key-based authentication for the action, ensuring seamless and secure repository interactions.

It was a great learning experience, and I’m looking forward to similar projects in the future!
