Resets changes in the branch with main

[rprakashg-redhat]

I'm trying to use this action to simply open a PR but unfortunately its not working well. I noticed the changes in the branch gets reset with main and pull request never gets creating.

If you want to see the workflow run logs see this link https://github.com/rprakashg-redhat/scheduler/actions/runs/5867887999/job/15909654750

This is the remote repo I want the PR to be opened https://github.com/rprakashg-redhat/scheduler-ops but as you can see the changes in the branch gets reset by this action which is prolly why PR never gets created. If I remove the Open PR job I can correctly see the changes made by the job that updates manifest. Why is this action updating the branch and overwriting changes. I simply need to Open PR

Not sure what I'm missing

Hi @rprakashg-redhat

Apologies for the slow response.

I think this is because you are trying to use a branch with existing changes to raise in a PR as the branch input. (Please correct me if that's not the case)

Please see this section of the common issues doc. (You didn't miss this doc, I just created it)
