 ## Limitations & Gotchas

+The goal of this Action is to be "the Action for committing files for the 80% use case". Therefore, you might run into issues if your Workflow falls into the not supported 20% portion.
+
+The following is a list of edge cases the Action knowingly does not support:
+
+**No `git pull` when the repository is out of date with remote.** The Action will not do a `git pull` before doing the `git push`. **You** are responsible for keeping the repository up to date in your Workflow runs. 
+
+**No support for running the Action in build matrices**. If your Workflow is using build matrices, and you want that each job commits and pushes files to the remote, you will run into the issue, that the repository in the workflow will become out of date. As the Action will not do a `git pull` for you, you have to do that yourself.
+
+**No support for `git rebase` or `git merge`**. There are many strategies on how to integrate remote upstream changes to a local repository. `git-auto-commit` does not want to be responsible for doing that. 
+
+**No support for detecting line break changes between CR (Carriage Return) and LF (Line Feed)**. This is a low level issue, you have to resolve differently in your project. Sorry.

+If this Action doesn't work for your workflow, check out [EndBug/add-and-commit](https://github.com/EndBug/add-and-commit).

+By default, this Action will not run on Pull Requests which have been opened by forks. (This is a limitation by GitHub, not by us.)   
+However, there are a couple of ways to use this Actions in Workflows that should be triggered by forked repositories.

-If you want that a Workflow using this Action runs on Pull Requests opened by forks, 2 things have to be changed:
+### Workflow should run in **base** repository
+
+The workflow below runs whenever a commit is pushed to the `main`-branch or when activity on a pull request happens, by listening to the  [`pull_request_target`](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/events-that-trigger-workflows#pull_request_target) event.
+
+If the workflow is triggered by the `pull_request_target`-event, the workflow will run in the context of the base of the pull request, rather than in the context of the merge commit, as the `pull_request` event does.
+In other words, this will allow your workflow to be run in the repository where the pull request is opened to and will push changes back to the fork.

 ### No new workflows are triggered by the commit of this action

 This is due to limitations set up by GitHub, [commits of this Action do not trigger new Workflow runs](#commits-of-this-action-do-not-trigger-new-workflow-runs).

+### Pathspec 'x' did not match any files
+
+If you're using the Action with a custom `file_pattern` and the Action throws a fatal error with the message "Pathspec 'file-pattern' did not match any files", the problem is probably that no file for the pattern exists in the repository.
+
+`file_pattern` is used both for `git-status` and `git-add` in this Action. `git-add` will throw a fatal error, if for example, you use a file pattern like `*.js *.ts` but no `*.ts` files exist in your projects' repository.
+
+See [Issue #227](https://github.com/stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action/issues/227) for details.
+
+### Custom `file_pattern`, changed files but seeing "Working tree clean. Nothing to commit." in the logs
+
+If you're using a custom `file_pattern` and the Action does not detect the changes made in your worfklow, you're probably running into a globbing issue.
+
+Let's imagine you use `file_pattern: '*.md'` to detect and commit changes to all Markdown files in your repository.
+If your Workflow now only updates `.md`-files in a subdirectory, but you have an untouched `.md`-file in the root of the repository, the git-auto-commit Action will display "Working tree clean. Nothing to commit." in the Workflow log.
+
+This is due to the fact, that the `*.md`-glob is expanded before sending it to `git-status`. `git-status` will receive the filename of your untouched `.md`-file in the root of the repository and won't detect any changes; and therefore the Action does nothing.
+
+To fix this add `disable_globbing: true` to your Workflow.
+
+```yaml
+- uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v4
+  with:
+    file_pattern: '*.md'
+    disable_globbing: true
+```
+
+See [Issue #239](https://github.com/stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action/issues/239) for details.
