name: Commit Bot

# Instructions
#
# - One-time setup: create a personal access token with permissions. Then configure it here
#   as secrets.CI_PAT. https://github.com/boostorg/boost/settings/secrets/actions
#   The reason is explained in https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/25702
#   "If an action pushes code using the repository's GITHUB_TOKEN, a new workflow will not run"
#
# - Processing of either the 'master' or 'develop' branch may be stopped by creating the variables
#   vars.block_master or vars.block_develop with any value.
#   https://github.com/boostorg/boost/settings/variables/actions
#

# To avoid infinite loops, don't trigger on "push"
