This action uses mustache to enhance the power of GitHub Templates. It allows the templates to include dynamic values that will be populated with the information related to the PR (Pull Request) on pre defined template tags. The most basic usage is for adding the branch name as part of a link to the ticketing system.
For example, in a scenario where the developer is supposed to use branch names that matches the ticket number from JIRA and the link should be present on the PR body, the repository PR template would have something similar to the following:
Related to https://your-jira-url.com/browse/{{head.ref}}
This PR changes:

Where, head.ref
is the path on the PR payload
to the current branch that will be merged into the base branch. For instance,

information to the body while creating the PR, it will save the body as:
Related to https://your-jira-url.com/browse/{{head.ref}}
