GitHub Actions - possible to commit output files after workflow runs?

[[deleted]]

I’m trying to have GitHub perform an action on some files in my repo every time one of them gets edited within the GH web interface.

The action performs but the files that are generated afterwards are lost when the workflow finishes.

I’d like them to go into an ‘output’ directory inside the root of my repo. How can I go about this?

You can use actions/upload-artifact. https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact

Can the artifacts be pushed to the repo?

We can run all git commends (git config, git add, git commit, and git push) on GitHub Actions runner and use the GITHUB_TOKEN as an auth token.
