Action Summary
The GitHub Action cherry-picks pull requests onto long-running backport branches and gates the original pull request and its backports with bidirectional checks. It allows users to specify allowed backport branches and gate check names, and provides options for cherry-picking behavior and label management. The action is useful for maintaining multiple stable release branches while ensuring that changes are backported correctly.
What’s Changed
Host-aware support for github.com, ghe.com (data residency), and GitHub Enterprise Server. Host URLs are sourced from the runner env vars (GITHUB_API_URL, GITHUB_GRAPHQL_URL, GITHUB_SERVER_URL) instead of hardcoding github.com.
