Retry in case of http errors?

[c8y-mayerc]

Hi all, thanks for the great piece of code first,

We have an issue where sometimes the request to GH to create the pull request runs into server issues (HTTP 500, no rate limiting) and the action then fails. Is there an easy way to implement a retry (optional with a parameter?) in those cases, like on HTTP 5xx? Re-running the whole action or job is very costly for us, so we would like to avoid it, and the solutions for just re-running a single step have downsides we would like to avoid dealing with.

Hi @c8y-mayerc

I've added HTTP retries in v8.1.0 / v8.
