- This action creates a new branch and immediately pushes it without pulling first. Since the branch is newly created, there's no need for a pull step. However, the change to
pull.rebase truecould cause issues if this action is ever modified to pull before pushing, as rebasing on a newly created branch doesn't make logical sense. The previous setting ofpull.rebase falsewas more appropriate for this use case. Consider reverting this change or documenting why rebase is used despite the branch being new.
