This is a second try at #983. For context see https://github.com/rancherlabs/eio/issues/2112 and the JIRA issue.
A quick summary: an installation access token is used to authenticate as a github app when pushing code. This github app is given an exception to the branch protection rules for this repo, which normally prevent pushes directly to the
main-source
andmain
branches.I tried to get automated updates working with PRs, but github does not allow this without a human in the loop. This is why these workflows now simply create commits on
main-source
andmain
and push them.I tested the parts of this that I could, but github/our setup makes full testing on a fork impossible. I am confident that these changes won't screw this repo up, but I am not confident that it will work on the first try.
