🧩 Prettier GitHub Action does not commit fixes automatically

[idna001]

🐞 Summary

The new Prettier GitHub Action successfully runs and detects formatting issues,
but when it tries to fix and commit the changes, the commit step doesn’t complete successfully.

⚙️ Current Behavior

• The action runs Prettier correctly and identifies formatting errors.
• It formats the files locally in the CI environment.
• However, no commit is pushed back to the branch, and the PR remains unformatted.

🎯 Expected Behavior

When Prettier finds and fixes formatting issues,
it should automatically commit and push the formatted files back to the current branch.

💡 Possible Causes

• Incorrect configuration in the commit step (missing git config user.name or git config user.email).
• It should use the user of the creating the PR

🧠 Suggested Fix

• Verify that the workflow uses a valid token with contents: write permission.
• Add a configuration step for git user.name and git user.email before committing.
• Optionally, test the action on a branch within the main repo instead of a fork.

✅ Goal

Ensure that the Prettier GitHub Action can automatically:

1. Run prettier --write .
2. Commit the changes
3. Push them to the same branch that triggered the workflow
