1. Get the Commit SHA of the prd Branch from the Source Repository: Use the GitHub API to fetch the prd branch information from the source repository and get the commit SHA.

2. Get the Tree SHA for the Commit: Retrieve the tree SHA for the specific commit in the prd branch. This represents the state of the repository at that commit.

3. Create a Commit in the New Repository: Use the tree SHA and the commit SHA from the source repository to create a new commit in the new repository.

4. Create or Replace the prd Branch in the New Repository: Create or update the prd branch in the new repository with the new commit SHA.
