# git-auto-commit-action
|
||||
|
||||
This GitHub Action automatically commits files which have been changed during a Workflow run and pushes the Commit back to GitHub.
|
||||
The Committer is "GitHub Actions <actions@github.com>" and the Author of the Commit can be configured with environment variables.

The Committer is "GitHub Actions <actions@github.com>" and the Author of the Commit can be configured with input variables.
|

|

If no changes are available, the Actions does nothing.
|
||||
|
||||
This Action has been inspired and adapted from the [auto-commit](https://github.com/cds-snc/github-actions/tree/master/auto-commit

)-Action of the Canadian Digital Service.

|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
You have to have an Action in your Workflow, which changes some of your project 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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```terraform
|
||||
workflow "php-cs-fixer" {
|
||||
on = "push"
|
||||
resolves = [
|
||||
"auto-commit-php-cs-fixer"
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
action "php-cs-fixer" {
|
||||
uses = "docker://oskarstark/php-cs-fixer-ga"

||||
action "auto-commit-php-cs-fixer" {

needs = ["php-cs-fixer"]

COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL = "john.doe@example.com"
