The all-contributors bot creates PRs against the default branch (main) which leads to further divergence from develop.

is it possible to let all-contributors bot creates PRs directly to develop branch?

is it possible to let all-contributors bot creates PRs directly to develop branch?

It seems not:

• there is a pending issue since 2019 to target another branch Support merging to another branch than the default one all-contributors/app#243
• more recently, another issue to add the contribution in the current PR Add to contributors in the current PR all-contributors/app#482

There is a GH Action that could solve or need but it's looking out of date https://github.com/marketplace/actions/all-contributors-action
