Pull request overview
Adds an optional token secret to the reusable auto-merge workflow so merges can be performed with a PAT (to allow downstream workflows like deploy to run), while keeping the default behavior using GITHUB_TOKEN.
Changes:
- Introduces an optional
workflow_callsecret (github-token) with documentation. - Switches the action’s
GITHUB_TOKENenv to prefer the optional secret, falling back tosecrets.GITHUB_TOKEN.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
Merges done with GITHUB_TOKEN don't trigger subsequent workflows (GitHub's anti-recursion policy), which prevents deploy jobs from running after auto-merged PRs. Adding an optional PAT input allows repos to opt in to triggering downstream workflows. Backwards-compatible: defaults to GITHUB_TOKEN when not provided.
