Hi @gustaff-weldon

Please see this action to enable automerge.

[TSenter]

Can this be revisited, since enable-pull-request-automerge specifically states Using this action is no longer necessary?

@TSenter What that means is that using the enable-pull-request-automerge action is not necessary anymore because the same functionality exists in the GitHub CLI. I've put a code snippet in the readme for a GitHub Actions step that uses the CLI command.

So please use either the GitHub CLI command to enable automerge, or the enable-pull-request-automerge action. I won't be adding that functionality to this action.

Thank you for the quick reply, that's exactly what I was looking for!
