GitHub action to configure the git user corresponding to the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable.
The action configures the git user name and email:
git config --global user.name <name>
git config --global user.email <email>
Here's an example of how to use the action in a workflow to configure the git user. After you configure the user, you can make changes and push them.
name: Create new file
permissions:
contents: write
on:
workflow_dispatch: # Allow manual triggers
jobs:
my-job:
name: My job
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout repository
uses: actions/checkout@v4
- id: git-author
name: Configure git user from GitHub token
uses: MarcoIeni/git-config@v0.1
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
- name: Commit changes
run: |
echo "${{ steps.git-author.outputs.email }}"
echo "${{ steps.git-author.outputs.name }}"
touch new-file
git add .
git commit -m "Create new file"
