name: autoupdate branch

# **What it does**: Any pull requests with "autoupdate" label will get main branch updates.
# **Why we have it**: Our repo-sync automation relies on it.
# **Who does it impact**: Our ability to support the open-source repository.

#
# This workflow checks all open PRs targeting `main` as their base branch and
# will attempt to update them if they have the `autoupdate` label applied.
# It is triggered when a `push` event occurs ON the `main` branch (e.g. a PR
# was merged or a force-push was done).
#
# It should work on all PRs created from source branches within the repo itself
# but is unlikely to work for PRs created from forked repos.
#
# It is still worthwhile to leave it enabled for the `docs` open source repo as
# it should at least be running on `repo-sync` branch PRs.
