I can also update the script to checkout a branch, make the updates, and commit/push the changes if folks would like that added.

oh, that would be ideal I we would be able just go to actions, click run workflow and specify version to update to. And it will create PR automatically

I was expecting happier face expression from feelsgood than

just go to actions, click run workflow and specify version to update to. And it will create PR automatically

To do that, we need an admin for the Qiskit-Extensions org to create a Github token with the appropriate permissions on the repo... not sure @IceKhan13 if you know who to prod to get such a token...

With just the script, I can make it do everything up to opening the PR, but we'd still have to manually create the PR on github.

Action added. Note it won't work until we get the appropriate access token.

I think we do not even need

token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

default for this action is GITHUB_TOKEN anyway :)

but important things is that is works :)

That could be (I had to add a token to test it locally, but that's probably more a quirk of running locally than anything else... will take it out)

should we give it a go?

it should be safe to run the action whenever... it'll just cut a PR, but said PR will still need to be reviewed before it merges, so we shouldn't be able to shoot ourselves in the foot...
