Possible mismatch authorship of the commit

📝 Brief description

I am using this action in combination with your other action, action-pull-request, in a workflow called fetch-data,

The changes are committed to the new branch and a PR is created and labelled, that's fine.
I would like to perform both steps using a PAT (personal access token) created within my machine account and saved as a repo secret called WORKFLOWS.
The PR step is performed by the machine account as expected, see for example PR #48.
However you can see in the same PR that the commit 8614e69 created by the commit-push step is still performed under my name, @damianooldoni, not the machine account even if I use, as for the PR step, github_token: ${{ secrets.WORKFLOWS }} in the with section, see #L62.

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help.

Hi. GitHub PAT doesn't have user information stored with it. It still uses current git user.
In case of this action it's being set here https://github.com/devops-infra/action-commit-push/blob/master/entrypoint.sh#L29
I may try to add an additional input variable to set a different username, then it should work.
