Create Pull Request action will:
1. Check for repository changes in the Actions workspace. This includes untracked (new) files as well as modified files.
2. Commit all changes to a new branch. The commit will be made using the name and email of the `HEAD` commit author.
2. Commit all changes to a new branch, or update an existing pull request branch. The commit will be made using the name and email of the `HEAD` commit author.
3. Create a pull request to merge the new branch into the currently active branch executing the workflow.
Note: Modifying a repository during workflows is not good practice in general.
However, this action opens up some interesting possibilities when used carefully.
This action is experimental and may not work well for some use cases.

#### Branch naming
The variable `PULL_REQUEST_BRANCH` defaults to `create-pull-request/patch`.
Commits will be made to a branch with this name and suffixed with the short SHA1 commit hash.
For branch naming there are two strategies. Always create a new branch each time there are changes to be committed, OR, create a pull request branch that will be updated with any new commits until it is merged or closed.
e.g.
```
create-pull-request/patch-fcdfb59
create-pull-request/patch-394710b
```
**Strategy A - Always create a new pull request branch (default)**
Alternatively, branches can be suffixed with a timestamp by setting the environment variable `BRANCH_SUFFIX` to the value `timestamp`. This option must be used if multiple pull requests will be created during the execution of a workflow.
For this strategy there are three options to suffix the branch name.
The branch name is defined by the variable `PULL_REQUEST_BRANCH` and defaults to `create-pull-request/patch`.
e.g.
```
create-pull-request/patch-1569322532
create-pull-request/patch-1569322552
```
1. `short-commit-hash` (default)
Commits will be made to a branch suffixed with the short SHA1 commit hash.
eg. `create-pull-request/patch-fcdfb59`, `create-pull-request/patch-394710b`
2. `timestamp`
Commits will be made to a branch suffixed by a timestamp.
eg. `create-pull-request/patch-1569322532`, `create-pull-request/patch-1569322552`
3. `random`
Commits will be made to a branch suffixed with a random alpha-numeric string. This option must be used if multiple pull requests will be created during the execution of a workflow.
eg. `create-pull-request/patch-6qj97jr`, `create-pull-request/patch-5jrjhvd`
**Strategy B - Create and update a pull request branch**
To use this strategy, set `BRANCH_SUFFIX` to the value `none`. The variable `PULL_REQUEST_BRANCH` defaults to `create-pull-request/patch`. Commits will be made to this branch and a pull request created. Any subsequent changes will be committed to the same branch and reflected in the existing pull request.
