Description
Describe the bug

Workflow used

with:
repository: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name }}

with:
committer_name: GitHub Actions
committer_email: actions@github.com
message: Version synchronisation
add: '["toolkit/deps.cfg", "dependabot/requirements.txt"]'Expected behavior
The documentation suggests to update to actions/checkout@v2 for the error message I saw.
Maybe this just needs to be added to the documentation as another source for this error.

Hmm yeah, makes sense that
persist-credentials: falsecauses this issue, as then add-and-commit has no credentials to access the repo. It's worth mentioning this in https://github.com/EndBug/add-and-commit#about-actionscheckoutEndBug commentedon Nov 26, 2024
