Users may opt-out by specifying `persist-credentials: false`
Note:
- Users scripting `git commit` may need to set the username and email. The service does not provide any reasonable default value. Users can add `git config user.name <NAME>` and `git config user.email <EMAIL>`. We will document this guidance.
- The auth header (stored in the repo's git config), is scoped to all of github `http.https://github.com/.extraheader`

Given a source file path, walk up the directories until the first `.git/config` is found. Check if it matches the self repo (`url = https://github.com/OWNER/REPO`). If not, drop the source file path.
### User name and email
The `user-name` and `user-email` can be used to set the user name and email in the local git config.

git add generated.txt
git commit -m "generated file"
git push
fi
```
### Port to typescript
The checkout action should be a typescript action on the GitHub graph, for the following reasons:
