If you work in an organization and don't want to create a PAT from your personal account, we recommend using a [robot account](https://docs.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/types-of-github-accounts) for the token.
### Prevent Infinite Loop when using a Personal Access Token
If you're using a Personal Access Token (PAT) to push commits to GitHub repository, the resulting commit or push can trigger other GitHub Actions workflows. This can result in an infinite loop.
If you would like to prevent this, you can add `skip-checks:true` to the commit message. See [Skipping workflow runs](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/managing-workflow-runs/skipping-workflow-runs) for details.
### Change to file is not detected
Does your workflow change a file, but "git-auto-commit" does not detect the change? Check the `.gitignore` that applies to the respective file. You might have accidentally marked the file to be ignored by git.
