Configure git

[davidkarlsen]

Prior to running git-commands I have to configure git:

        git config --global committer.email "[email protected]"
        git config --global committer.name "GitHub"
        git config --global author.email "${GITHUB_ACTOR}@users.noreply.github.com"
        git config --global author.name "${GITHUB_ACTOR}"

Could this be fixed by the action instead - it seems as sane default, and could be opt-in. Having to configure it manually is painful.

How about git config --local, not --global?

[davidkarlsen]

Yes. Local makes more sense.

I guess this duplicates:

• Set git user and email #13
• revise adr to support user-name and user-email #158

Maybe it would even make sense to have the job-environment initialized with the variables: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Environment-Variables in default variables: https://help.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/using-environment-variables#default-environment-variables

Closing since duplicate. Add any feedback to ADR. It's something I think should be added, just havent gotten to it yet.

Also +1 the ADR :)

@ericsciple Maybe link the ADR? There are several issues link to this (#233) issue.
