Hi @Poornachand200

It's not clear to me what you are trying to do. Are you trying to make a pull request from an existing branch to main without any changes?

The standard pattern for using this action is to checkout the target branch (main) and then create the changes you want on top of that branch. So I think your workflow is a bit confusing, because your checking out the "branch to deploy" and then setting the base input to main. All this will do is take the changes you are making in the workflow and try to rebase them on main. It's not raising a PR with changes that already exist in the branch input of the workflow.

@peter-evans Yes, I am trying to promote the changes from branch i.e test2 to main based on different inputs. I altered the workflow as below by referring to your documentation. I would like to create 2 pull requests for two different products pingfederate and pingdirectory. I copy the changes accordingly in git copy command based on the inputs from test folder to production folder as mentioned below. But the 2 pull requests has the changes from both the folders pingfederate and pingdirectory. Below are the expected changes in the pull requests. I can provide you more information.

Condition:

i) If the input is pingdirectory

The pull request created from test2 to main should have only the changes from below path.

nuuday-ciam/test/pingdirectory/
nuuday-ciam/production/pingdirectory/ - changes copied from nuuday-ciam/test/pingdirectory/

ii) If the input is pingfederate

The pull request created from test2 to main should have only the changes from below path.

nuuday-ciam/test/pingfederate/
nuuday-ciam/production/pingfederate/ - changes copied from nuuday-ciam/test/pingfederate/

@peter-evans Hope the explanation in the above comment helps.

from create-pull-request.

@peter-evans Can you please assist with the above response? It will be of great help. The development activity can resume only if this is rectified.

from create-pull-request.

@peter-evans Looking for a response from you as we are highly depend on this to push our code to production. If my above explanation is not clear, I can set up a session with you. Please let me know what works.

from create-pull-request.

@peter-evans Kindly update on this.

from create-pull-request.

@peter-evans Please update on this. We are blocked on this.

@Poornachand200 It looks like the latest changes you made to the workflow are following the example here, so that part looks fine.

The problem seems to be that you want to ignore parts of the diff for some paths. For that you should use the add-paths input, but you will need to change the value of the input based on the value of inputs.product.

The other alternative is to create your own commits, and then discard any changes that you don't want.

I'm very busy at the moment and that's about all I have time for to help you with this.

I'll close this now because this isn't an issue with the action itself, it's just general support for using the action. I try to help with these type of requests, but I don't have a lot of time to provide support in my spare time.
