The PlanetScale team has released four official GitHub Actions that can be used to automate common operations on their databases. These actions allow developers to create a branch of a database, create a password for the new branch, create a deploy request between two branches, and attempt to merge changes defined in an existing deploy request. The actions are available on the GitHub Actions Marketplace and can be easily integrated into developer workflows. By using these actions, developers can automate tasks such as creating new database branches when a feature branch is created or merging database schema changes from one branch to another when a pull request closes.
