Description
Hey there,
I am having trouble setting the actual commit author account.
My GitHub Workflow Step is set up like this:
- name: Release
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
NPM_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}
GIT_AUTOR_NAME: "BlazingWorks CI"
GIT_AUTOR_EMAIL: "hey@blazing.works"
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME: "BlazingWorks CI"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL: "hey@blazing.works"
run: pnpm semantic-release
The commits created through this look like this:

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start with the GitHub Workflow Release step and the semantic-release command shown in the issue, then check the semantic-release git plugin documentation for supported author and committer configuration. Done means the generated commits display the intended author account and email; no test or source file is named in the issue.
