Release notes

What’s Changed

This release introduces a new experimental input that you can use to configure experimental features. We encourage everyone to try them out and share feedback.

As a first experimental feature, this release adds detect_merge_method. When enabled, it cherry-picks the resulting commits based on the detected merge method. Give it a try if you’re using the Squash and merge or Rebase and merge merge method for your pull requests, and please report any issues you encounter.

To enable merge method detection add the following to your backport workflow:

using: korthout/backport-action@v2
with:
  experimental: >
    {
      "detect_merge_method": true
    }
