> The GitHub Action for committing files for the 80% use case.
This GitHub Action automatically commits files which have been changed during a Workflow run and pushes the commit back to GitHub.
The default committer is "GitHub Actions <actions@github.com>", and the default author of the commit is "Your GitHub Username <github_username@users.noreply.github.com>".

The Action will only commit if files have changed.
## Example
In this example, we're running `php-cs-fixer` in a PHP project to fix the codestyle automatically,
then commit possible changed files back to the repository.
Note that we explicitly specify `${{ github.head_ref }}` in both the checkout and the commit Action.
This is required in order to work with the `pull_request` event (or any other non-`push` event).
```yaml
name: php-cs-fixer
on:
pull_request:
push:
branches:
- "master"
jobs:
php-cs-fixer:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
ref: ${{ github.head_ref }}
- name: Run php-cs-fixer
uses: docker://oskarstark/php-cs-fixer-ga
- uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v4.1.6

commit_message: Apply php-cs-fixer changes

GitHub currently prohibits Actions like this to push commits to forks, even when they created a PR and allow edits.
See [issue #25](https://github.com/stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action/issues/25) for more information.
## Example
The most common use case for this Action is to create a new build of your project on GitHub Actions and commit the compiled files back to the repository.
Another simple use case is to run automatic formatting and commit the fixes back to the repository.
In this example, we're running `php-cs-fixer` in a PHP project, let the linter fix possible code issues, then commit the changed files back to the repository.
