Github action: Sync and merge upstream repository with your current repository

Sync Upstream Repo

This repository contains an github action to sync your current repository with an upstream repository. The work is greatly inspired by actions-registry/github-repo-sync-upstream which didn't work for me.

Usage

Example github action:

 
name: CI

on: 
  schedule:
    - cron: "15 14 * * *"
jobs:
  build:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v1
    - name: Fetch upstream
      uses: tjusl/[email protected]
      with:
      #Git upstream repo
        upstream_repo: https://github.com/holger24/AFD.git
        upstream_branch: master
        local_branch: master
	github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

This action syncs your repo with the upstream repo https://github.com/holger24/AFD.git every day at 14:15 UTC.
