use github-actions[bot] account if token is "secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN"

[xuwei-k]

GitHub Actions provide secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN by default.

https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/authentication-in-a-workflow#using-the-github_token-in-a-workflow

But github.users.getAuthenticated() throw Error if token is secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN, so I have set explicit github-actions bot login, email and name.

Here is an example repo.(I have't set any tokens in this repo. I have use only default GITHUB_TOKEN)

• xuwei-k/scala-steward-test-1@d871418
• https://github.com/xuwei-k/scala-steward-test-1/runs/1265240619#step:5:35
• Update sbt to 1.4.0 xuwei-k/scala-steward-test-1#1

Thank you very much for this! This has been in my to-do list for quite some time :)

Would you be willing to also write some lines in the README telling that this is now possible?

Also this will be only allowed if using the action to update the same repository it is running from. I'm not sure if we should made that check too...

Is this still active? If not, can I help in any way?

It would definitely be quite useful to have this, especially since it simplifies the process for setting up the action. Using the default GITHUB_TOKEN feels much cleaner than using a personal access token.

I'm so sorry, I was waiting on the author's response and totally forget about it.

@xuwei-k could you push a commit removing the changes from the dist/main.js? it is automatically generated on every push to master

Version v2.9.1 has been published with this fix and the v2 tag has been updated to point to it.
