I see an exception in the logs when my project uses this action. Can you please advise if something is wrong with the way we are using this action.

Using 'Add & Commit Action actions@github.com' as author. Using "chore: Apply formatting changes" as commit message. Running for a PR, the action will use 'bug-MA-2444' as ref. Internal logs Outputs 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> bug-MA-2444

Seems like you're using a self-hosted runner that, as written in the warnings, does not contain the GITHUB_TOKEN env variable. You need to provide a GitHub token for the action to be able to run. Also, it seems like you're using a very old version of the action, please upgrade to the latest.

If you need to use a Personal Access Token, you can plug it into the github_token input: https://github.com/EndBug/add-and-commit/blob/43eaafb140bdacd4907fa7384fdd5cd271f58171/action.yml#L64-L67
