Try: Use github.actor as default value for commit author

[ocean90]

With regards to #126 and #125 I was wondering if we can't use a better default value. Looking at the docs I found github.actor in the GitHub context which is "The login of the user that initiated the workflow run" which is basically the committer name.

Some actions/workflows are already using this:

• https://github.com/marketplace/actions/create-pull-request#action-inputs
• https://github.com/marketplace/actions/configure-git-credentials#inputs
• https://github.com/google/site-kit-wp/blob/develop/.github/workflows/storybook.yml#L87-L90

The PR is currently untested, open for discussion, and needs some sanity checks.

The current API request was added in #49 for PR support.

I have used the forked action in a private repo and it's working fine so far.

Sorry if I couldn't take a look at this before.
I have a question: what if I manually trigger the workflow on a commit by someone else? The current action would pick the commit author, while your change would look at me, since I'm the one that started the run. Am I right?

[ocean90]

That's correct. I think this is a better behavior than before?

[EndBug]

Seems fair
As soon as I'll be able to test this it will be added as a major change then 👍🏻
