Add support for `target-branch` input parameter to allow dependency updates on branches other than the repository's default branch. This enables updating alpha, beta, or version-specific branches. - Add `target-branch` input parameter to action.yml - Modify base branch detection to use target-branch when provided - Update README with parameter documentation and usage example - Add workflow test for target-branch functionality Fixes #87 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

The test was failing because 'test-branch' doesn't exist in this repository. Changed to use the existing 'test/nonbot-commits' branch instead.

The previous implementation was creating PRs with the entire diff between the default branch and target branch. Now we properly checkout the target branch first, then make dependency updates on top of it. This ensures PRs only contain the dependency changes, not all differences between branches.
…commands
Much cleaner approach using the built-in ref parameter of actions/checkout
to directly checkout the target branch instead of manual git commands.
Uses: ref: ${{ inputs.target-branch || github.ref }}
- If target-branch is provided, checkout that branch
- Otherwise, use the default behavior (github.ref)

Summary
This PR adds support for updating dependencies on branches other than the repository's default branch, enabling automated updates for alpha, beta, and version-specific branches.
Changes

This resolves the issue described in #87 where repositories like
sentry-react-nativeneed to maintain automated dependency updates for multiple branches simultaneously (e.g.,main,v7,alpha,beta).Backward Compatibility
