PR numbers are easy to come by in PRs, but passing those same numbers to releases, merge queues and PR-backed merges can get tricky. This action makes that convenient in the following cases:
- PR merge queues
- Merged PR workflows
- Release events (finds the most recently merged PR)
- PRs themselves (just for consistency)
This process has been an integral part of PR-based workflows where images are promoted from development (PRs) to test/staging to production. It is also useful for release events where the most recent PR is tied to the release.
The build will return a PR number as output.
