Thanks Kai! I'll merge tomorrow morning then create a new sync issue for 6.7 and we'll see if it works.

We can skip checking out the repo to check for changes if it's triggered by the label

[noisysocks]

We have to check out the repo because of the awk in the script below. We can skip the git diff though. I've done that.

[noisysocks]

I've updated the script to skip the git diff when possible and I've gone back to using env.changes as it turns out this bug was just to do with a typo. See #63792 (comment).

Tested everything in my Gutenberg fork.
