Getting Error: There is no tracking information for the current branch.

Hi, I’m generating some files and want to use GHA to commit the files here’s my step in config

    - name: NPM Generate Sass Docs
      run: |
        npm run generate:sass:docs

    - name: Commit sass docs
      uses: EndBug/add-and-commit@v7
      with:
        add: 'public/sassDocs'
        author_name: Github Action
        author_email: [e-mail]
        message: 'Generated sass docs'

But sometimes I get the following error:

Add input parsed as single string, running 1 git add command.
> Using 'Github Action <[e-mail]>' as author.
> Using "Generated sass docs" as commit message.
> Running for a PR, the action will use 'feature/PLAT-263-generate-sass-doc' as ref.
Internal logs
Outputs
  committed: false
  pushed: false

Error: Error: There is no tracking information for the current branch.
Please specify which branch you want to merge with.
See git-pull(1) for details.

    git pull <remote> <branch>

If you wish to set tracking information for this branch you can do so with:

    git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/<branch> feature/PLAT-263-generate-sass-doc

Could anyone help and let me know what I should do?

Thanks

I see this when it is triggered by an on: pull_request event on a fork PR. Triggering it with on: push, so that it runs in the fork context, fixes it for me.
