This action allows you to create a commit with GitHub Actions. Commits created with this actions will be marked as verified.

In your workflow, to commit a file ./myfile, include a step like this:

    - name: Commit file
      uses: swinton/commit@v1
      env:
        GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      with:
        path: myfile
        commit-message: Committing ./myfile
        ref: refs/heads/my-branch

Note, the GH_TOKEN environment variable is required, since commits are created using GitHub's Git Database API.

The following inputs are required:

• path: Filesystem path of file to be committed, relative to root of repository, e.g. myfile
• commit-message: Commit message to be used, e.g. Add ./myfile
• ref: Fully qualified name of reference to be updated with commit, e.g. refs/heads/production. This reference must already exist. Defaults to the repository's default branch ref.

This action provides the following outputs:

• commit-sha: SHA of created commit
