Description

The Awesome Workflow makes changes to format files or to change the DIRECTORY.md, and then pushes the changes to the master branch.
However, that branch is a protected branch, which means only administrators or certain permitted users can make changes without creating a PR. AFAIK, GitHub Actions cannot be given permissions.

https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/C/actions/runs/3728181169/jobs/6322964878#step:11:19
https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/25305

Expected behavior

The CI should normally push the changes.

Actual behavior

The CI cannot push any changes to the master branch.

Steps to reproduce

No response

Context

This is very important when updating the DIRECTORY.md file, when formatting files, etc.. Without these, the files may be unformatted or have filenames that do not follow our guidelines and other stuff that the CI takes care of.

I'm not quite knowledgeable in CI but I've seen the algorithms/python update their DIRECTORY.md file using a CI.
I think they are using a GitHub secret token to push things to the directory file i am not sure.
I have also seen pre-commit also manage to push changes into the current pull request. I'll do some more researching and I'll let you know how it goes. Hope this helps 🙂
Maybe something like this might just work:

-name: Commit and push changes
         run: |
           git diff DIRECTORY.md
           git commit -am "clang-format and clang-tidy fixes for ${GITHUB_SHA::8}" || true
           git remote set-url origin https://x-access-token:$GH_TOKEN@github.com/$GITHUB_REPOSITORY
           git push origin HEAD:refs/heads/main --tags
         env:
           GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
