forgejo-create-pull-request

A Docker-based Forgejo Action that:

• takes whatever changes exist in the workspace (including untracked files),
• applies them onto a new or reset branch created from a chosen base branch,
• commits + pushes that branch to origin, and
• creates a pull request (or reuses an existing PR) on the current Forgejo instance.
