Commit author is web-flow?

Commit author is web-flow?

When we use this action to make a PR, even when we set author, the commit author appears to be set to web-flow? We have no idea where this comes from:

Steps to reproduce

Here's out workflow config:

- uses: peter-evans/create-pull-request@v5
  with:
    author: "GitHub <[email protected]>"
    branch: update-symfony
    commit-message: Update Symfony
    delete-branch: true
    body: |
      Created automatically by `.github/workflows/update-symfony.yml`

      This PR will be automatically updated daily if there are more changes.

      > **Warning**
      > Closing this PR without merging in the changes will cause it to regenerate tomorrow

    title: Update Symfony

Hi @Jamesking56

It's the user account web-flow, that you created the PAT token on. Pull requests are created by the user account associated with the token you use.

The author and committer inputs are for the git commit, which is completely separate from the user who creates the PR.

This would make sense apart from one thing, web-flow isn't our user?

Sorry I mistaken. After the looking at the screenshot again I can see its the commit UI on GitHub, so it does seems to be suggesting that web-flow is set as the git committer. However, the committer has a default, so I'm not really sure how that occurred.

If can't really tell without more information. A link to the workflow run or the workflow log would be useful.
