Description

Since #7, if git config user.email is empty, the action will set user.email and user.name. This is persisted even after the step.

Ideally instead this should not happen.

I tried passing the git author via ENVs but I couldn't get exec/execFile to use them: #7@891d43e I don't know why this happens. The envs work correctly when git is run outside Node.

Any help would be appreciated.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate why git user config set via exec persists after step; explore environment variable passing to exec/execFile and test with `env` option.
