## What it is
A GitHub Action that detects files changed during a workflow run and automatically commits and pushes them back to the repository. It is written in Shell and designed for the common 80% use case of committing generated or modified files in CI.

## Use cases
- auto-commit formatted or linted files back to the repo in CI
- push generated files from a GitHub Actions workflow
- commit build artifacts or docs updates automatically
- detect changed files in a workflow and push them
- automate git commits as the GitHub Actions bot

## When to choose
- you need a simple, one-line step to commit workflow-generated changes
- your workflow runs on ubuntu-latest and uses the default GITHUB_TOKEN
- you want sensible defaults like co-authoring and configurable commit messages

## When to avoid
- you need complex commit logic like rebasing, signing with custom keys, or multi-repo pushes
- your workflow runs on Windows
- you need fine-grained control beyond glob patterns and git-commit options

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: version-control, ci-cd, workflow-automation, developer-tools
- domain: version-control, developer-tools
