What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

GitHub Actionsmerge_group trigger supportsbranches filter since itsbeta release in Aug 2022, but it's not documented till now.

I guess the symmetricbranches-ignore filter is also supported but didn't check it myself.

One option is to extend current sectionon.<pull_request|pull_request_target>.<branches|branches-ignore> to covermerge_group and taking care of old anchor name redirection. Or add a separateon.merge_group.<branches|branches-ignore> section.
