post-release-mergeback.yml

# This workflow runs after a release of the action. For v2 releases, it merges any changes from the
# release back into the main branch. Typically, this is just a single commit that updates the
# changelog. For v2 and v1 releases, it then (a) tags the merge commit on the release branch that
# represents the new release with an `vx.y.z` tag and (b) updates the `vx` tag to refer to this
# commit.
