Problem setting git username/email with GH_PAT only

See original GitHub issue

🐞 Describe the bug

Our sync action stopped working ~5 days ago (seemingly after this was merged - https://github.com/BetaHuhn/repo-file-sync-action/pull/153). Throwing an error that the git username/email was missing.

We’re passing only a GH_PAT, not an installation token.

I can’t seem to reproduce your issue. I tried running the action with only the GH_PAT and it is working without any errors (see the test run).

Could you enable the step debug logging by setting the ACTIONS_STEP_DEBUG secret to true and try again? It should print that it is setting the git username and email.

Thanks for taking a look! We’ll give that a try and get back to you.
