Create Release Branch Action

Creates a new release branch based on the repo's version/VERSION file contents.

This is intended for internal HashiCorp use only

Usage

• Make sure your repo's service account is configured to bypass branch protection rules on main.

• Create a local workflow called create-release-branch.yml and include the following:

  name: Create a release branch
  on:
      - workflow_dispatch
  jobs:
  create-branch:
      runs-on: [linux, small]
      steps:
          - uses: actions/checkout@v3
          - uses: hashicorp/actions-create-release-branch@v1
              with:
              token: ${{ secrets.ELEVATED_GITHUB_TOKEN }}
  

• Run your workflow from the Github Actions UI.
