Create Other Repo Branch Action

Github Action to create a new branch on another repository 🆕🚀

📚 Usage

⚙️ How does the action work?

⚠️ Don't use this action to create a branch on the same repository! To do so, other actions on the marketplace are more efficient. You can also do it with the actions/checkout and git commands.

♻️ Scenarios
