# setup-git-user
> GitHub Action that sets git user and email to enable committing
If you try to use `git commit` or `git tag` on GitHub Actions, it will throw an error:
This action is a convenience action which sets the user and email in one line.
# Usage
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: fregante/setup-git-user@v2
- run: git commit --message 'Something cool'
- run: git push
```
New commits and tags will be assigned to the [@actions](https://github.com/actions) user. If you want to customize the user, **you don't need this action**. Just use:
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- run: git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
- run: git config --global user.name "Your Name"
- run: git commit --message 'Something cool'
- run: git push
```
