## Example github action tests in created PRs
By default, this action uses an api token provided by github ci to create the
pull request. By default, Github does not run github actions, i.e. tests, for
these types of pull requests. However, you can bypass this restriction by
specifying a personal authentication token (PAT). You can create a token by
visiting [https://github.com/settings/tokens]() and select at least the scope
`repo`. Then store this token in your repository secrets (i.e.
'https://github.com/<USER>/<REPO>/settings/secrets/actions') as
`GH_TOKEN_FOR_UPDATES`.
