name: Backport merged pull request # Automates cherry-picking merged PRs onto release branches. # # Pre-merge (open PR): # An authorized /backport or /cherrypick comment adds one `backport ` # label per requested branch. These labels are then picked up automatically # when the PR is merged (see the pull_request_target: closed trigger below). # # Post-merge (merged PR): # - Label a PR with e.g. `backport release-1.17` before merging; the label # triggers the backport automatically when the PR closes as merged. # - Comment `/backport release-1.17` or `/cherrypick release-1.17` on an # already-merged PR to create the backport PR immediately. # # In both cases multiple target branches can be space-delimited in a comment: # /backport release-1.17 release-1.18 # # See: https://github.com/velero-io/velero/issues/9603 on: pull_request_target: types: [closed] issue_comment: types: [created] permissions: {} # Shared condition for authorized /backport or /cherrypick comments. # Used by both jobs below to avoid duplicating the gate logic. env: AUTHORIZED_COMMENT: >- ${{ github.event_name == 'issue_comment' && github.event.issue.pull_request != '' && github.event.comment.user.id != 97796249 && contains( fromJSON('["OWNER", "MEMBER", "COLLABORATOR"]'), github.event.comment.author_association ) && ( startsWith(github.event.comment.body, '/backport') || startsWith(github.event.comment.body, '/cherrypick') ) }} jobs: # ── Pre-merge: convert a /backport or /cherrypick comment into labels ─────── # When the PR is still open the backport-action cannot run (it requires a # merged commit).
