## Limitations & Gotchas
The goal of this Action is to be "the Action for committing files for the 80% use case". Therefore you might run into issues if your Workflow falls into the not supported 20% portion.
The following is a list of edge cases the Action knowingly does not support:
**No `git pull` when the repository is out of the date with remote.** The will not do a `git pull` before doing the `git push`. **You** are responsible for keeping the repository up to date in your Workflow runs.
**No support for running the Action in build matrices**. For example, if your Workflow is using build matrices, and you want that each job commits and pushes files to the remote, you will run into the issue, that the repository in the workflow will become out of date. As the Action will not do a `git pull` for you, you have to do that yourself.
**No support for `git rebase` or `git merge`**. There are many strategies on how to integrate remote upstream changes to a local repository. `git-auto-commit` does not want to be responsible for doing that.
### Checkout the correct branch
You must use `action/checkout@v2` or later versions to checkout the repository.
