The Action will only commit files back, if changes are available. The resulting commit **will not trigger** another GitHub Actions Workflow run!
It is recommended to use this Action in Workflows which listen to the `pull_request` event. If you want to use the Action on other events, you have to hardcode the value for `branch` as `github.head_ref` is only available in Pull Requests.
We recommend to use this Action in Workflows, which listen to the `pull_request` event. You can then use the option `branch: ${{ github.head_ref }}` to set up the branch name correctly.
If you don't pass a branch name, the Action will try to push the commit to a branch with the same name, as with wich the repo has been checked out.
## Example Usage
This Action will only work, if the job in your Workflow changes project files.
This Action will only work, if the job in your Workflow changes files.
The most common use case for this, is when you're running a Linter or Code-Style fixer on GitHub Actions.
In this example I'm running `php-cs-fixer` in a PHP project.
### Example on `pull_request` event

## Troubleshooting
- If your Workflow can't push the commit to the repository because of authentication issues, please update your Workflow configuration and usage of [`actions/checkout`](https://github.com/actions/checkout#usage). (Updating the `token` value with a Personal Access Token should fix your issues)
### Can't push commit to repository

### Commit of this Action does not trigger a new Workflow run
As mentioned in the [Usage](#Usage) section, the commit created by this Action **will not trigger** a new Workflow run automatically.
This is due to limitations set up by GitHub:
> An action in a workflow run can't trigger a new workflow run. For example, if an action pushes code using the repository's GITHUB_TOKEN, a new workflow will not run even when the repository contains a workflow configured to run when push events occur.
[Source](https://help.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows)
You can change this by creating a new [Pesonal Access Token (PAT)](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new), storing the token as a secret in your repository and then passing the new token to the [`actions/checkout`](https://github.com/actions/checkout#usage) Action.
