As a workflow improvment it would be cool if PR request are created automatically

[danielsiegl]

When I create a branch attached to an issue - I would like the PR to be created automatiacally to make it even easier to understand.

The rule could be simple:
A) For every branch that is not main - if it is pushed check if a pull request exists - if not create a pull request?

@FlorianBeerRB I tried - but I failed so far to run it on all branches but "main"

Interesting finding - it seems cause the .yml was missing in my orignal test branch - it would not run if I push to said branch....

Creation of PR works now - but they are not linked to the issue example:
#98

The workflow got better - and worse at the same time.
A) PR is created autmatically
but
B) PR is not automatically linked to the Issue

[danielsiegl]

The problem I guess is that the chosen action doesn't support to set "linked issues" under development

PR can be created on creation of a branch if you add 1 empty commit.

in short

on:
 create:

git commit --allow-empty -m empty git push

Finally I understand how that works ;)
