## Example using a different Git user
If you want to change the author and / or committer of the flake.lock update commit, you can tweak the `git-{author,committer}-{name,email}` options:
```yaml
name: update-flake-lock
on:
workflow_dispatch: # allows manual triggering
schedule:
- cron: '0 0 * * 0' # runs weekly on Sunday at 00:00
jobs:
lockfile:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout repository
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Install Nix
uses: cachix/install-nix-action@v16
with:
extra_nix_config: |
access-tokens = github.com=${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
- name: Update flake.lock
uses: DeterminateSystems/update-flake-lock@vX
with:
git-author-name: 'Jane Author'
git-author-email: 'github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com'
git-committer-name: 'John Committer'
git-committer-email: 'github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com'
```
## Running GitHub Actions CI
GitHub Actions will not run workflows when a branch is pushed by or a PR is opened by a GitHub Action. There are two ways to have GitHub Actions CI run on a PR submitted by this action.
