Creates new branch even if it exits #142
Description
Version of the Action
v4.9.0
Describe the bug
Creates a new branch even if the remote with the same name exists.
Switched to a new branch 'automatic-sync'
INPUT_FILE_PATTERN: .editorconfig
To https://github.com/<repo>
! [rejected] HEAD -> automatic-sync (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/<repo>'
hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind
hint: its remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes (e.g.
hint: 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Give a new branch name and commit some changes
- Run the same workflow a second time
Expected behavior
Needs to check if the remote branch exists, compare the difference, and commit only if a change is found.
