Github Actions - Auto-merge main to protected random branch after merge to main completed-CodePudding

I want to have a github workflow to merge main to my branch named develop after PR merged.

I have an error of pushing to protected branch -

remote: error: GH006: Protected branch update failed for refs/heads/develop.        
remote: error: At least 1 approving review is required by reviewers with write access.        
To https://github.com/blabla/blabla-repo
 ! [remote rejected] develop -> develop (protected branch hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/blabla/blabla-repo'
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

Maybe its not using the admin user? I've also added the bypass option.. Still getting the error..

name: Auto merge PR from main/master to develop branch

      - main

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Set Git config
        run: |
          git config --local user.email "[email protected]"
          git config --local user.name "temp"
      - name: Merge main back to develop
        run: |
          git fetch --unshallow
          git checkout develop
          git pull
          git merge --no-ff ${{ github.base_ref }} -m "Auto-merge master/main back to develop"
          git push --force

I have tried adding the user with this option but it still doesn't work.

CodePudding user response：

Configure your PAT with the right permissions under token with your checkout step like this:

- uses: actions/checkout@v3
  with:
    token: ${{ secrets.adminUserToken }}

See Usage for more details.
