# fast-forward-action

Adds a fast-forward label to PRs and fast-forwards them on `/fast-forward` comment.

## Use case

Github Web UI does not allow fast-forwarding of PRs: 

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60597400/how-to-do-a-fast-forward-merge-on-github

This disallows a linear commit history with a delayed stable branch.

## Inputs

| Input      | Description |

| ----------- | ----------- |

| GITHUB_TOKEN      | Automatically provided token, that can be used to authenticate on behalf of the GitHub action, with permissions limited to the repository that contains your workflow       |

| SSH_PRIVATE_KEY   | Deploy key for push. Must be  set in the repository settings. This is used by the action to push the fast-forwarded branch/commit/PR.        |

## Workflow YML

The Action must be run on triggers to keep the labels up-to-date and run the fast-forward on command. 

```yml

name: Fast-Forward

on: 

  issue_comment:

    types: [created]

  push:

  pull_request:

jobs:

  run:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:

      - uses: APN-Pucky/fast-forward-action@main

        with:

          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

          SSH_PRIVATE_KEY: ${{ secrets.GH_SSH }}

```

## Examples

For working examples checkout the `fast-forward` tagged PRs. 

They have been merged via the `/fast-forward` command.
