BranchWrite

Premise and Setup

BranchWrite is designed to write contents in the running repository, such that authentication with writing permission is required to put into input arg repo-token. It's recommended to use GITHUB_ACTION token automatically generated by GitHub Action and enable write contents permission for it. FO more information about GITHUB_ACTION, please visit the github doc

Usage
