# 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.
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"]
uses = "stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v1.0.0"
secrets = ["GITHUB_TOKEN"]
env = {
COMMIT_MESSAGE = "Apply php-cs-fixer changes"
COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL = "john.doe@example.com"
COMMIT_AUTHOR_NAME = "John Doe"
}
}
```
----
New GitHub Actions syntax:
```yaml
- uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@dev
with:
commit_author_email: john.doe@example.com
commit_author_name: John Doe
commit_message: Apply automatic changes
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
```
## Secrets
The `GITHUB_TOKEN` secret is required. Add the secret in the Workflow Editor on github.com.
## Inputs
The following inputs are required
- `commit_author_email`: The commit message used when changes are available
- `commit_author_name`: The Commit Authors Email Address
