Make the action only commit new, untracked files

[jj-lucas]

I'm trying to use this action to only commit untracked files, rather than also modifications to existing ones.
Is this possible? How so?
Thanks

This isn't easily doable with git-auto-commit as - as far as I know – there is no option/flag for this built in into git-status, git-add or git-commit.

What you could do is run the following script in your action instead of using git-auto-commit.

git ls-files --others --exclude-standard | xargs git add
git commit -m "Add untracked files"
git push origin

You would have to add any missing git-commands yourself.
