You workflow checks out the repository in a "detached HEAD" state. This means that Actions doesn't checkout a branch but rather a single commit.

https://github.com/aLosada7/edene/actions/runs/3778321913/jobs/6422695658#step:2:426

This leads to a problem when git-auto-commit tries to internally switch to the main-branch.

You can fix this by passing the branch name to be checked out to actions/checkout-Action (more).

            - name: Checkout Code
              uses: actions/checkout@v2
+             with:
+               ref: main
