Releases · stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action

This Action now requires that you use at least action/checkout@v2. The action/checkout team made some significant changes to the Action which we take advantage of (see next point).
This Action now longer requires a GITHUB_TOKEN. As mentioned in the first point, you should now use action/checkout@v2. v2 of the Action persists the used authentication token, so other Actions in the Workflow run can execute git commands which interract with GitHub. If you experience problems, you can still overwrite the used token (with a Personal Access Token for example). Checkout the usage documentation of actions/checkout for details.

Added

We've added 3 new options to allow you to customize the commit user and author:

commit_user_email: Defaults to "actions@github.com"
commit_user_name: Defaults to "GitHub Actions"
commit_author: Defaults to "github_username github_username@users.noreply.github.com"

Checkout the action.yml file for more detailed information.

Changes

The branch input option is now optional (again). action/checkout@v2 no longer leaves the repo in a detached HEAD state in Workflows listening to the push-event. This allows us to simply call git push origin to push the changes back to the repository.

However, the branch input option is still required for Workflows which listen to the pull_request event. Checkout the usage examples in the README.
