Is this repo maintained?

I noticed various bumped versions that need to be merged. I'm wondering if is there a plan to merge them?

How the cherrypick actually works ?

Right now i am trying to use REST API from github to cherrypick the commits from a given PR into a new branch created based on a given branch and in the end, create a PR for it.

Everything looks to be working fine, however, when i try to cherrypick using the endpoints of patch to update the branch with the commit, it includes commits from other pull requests in the changed files.

Basically i want to mimic the command from git bash:

• git checkout desired_branch
• git checkout -b new_feature_cherry-pick
• git cherry-pick commithashs //commit hash being the hash of the commits being done in the PR of another branch.

Heres how the changed file looks:

File 2 and the first line of file 1 are changes from other pull requests that were merged into another branch but not in the one from this PR.

What i need is that the PR has ONLY the changes from the given PR.

I was wondering if this can happen the same way using github actions ? Or this does not happen in this action ?

Looking up the issues on gorillio/github-action-cherry-pick#2, it looks to happen the same thing there.
