Pull Request Overview
This PR updates the git configuration procedure to properly enable pushing commits by configuring gh first and using gh auth setup-git instead of manually setting git user credentials. The changes address the issue where the previous procedure configured git but didn't allow actual push operations.
- Simplifies the configuration process by leveraging
gh auth setup-gitinstead of manual git config commands - Moves the tip about finding bot user IDs to appear before the configuration section for better readability
- Updates the procedure title to reflect that it now configures both
ghandgitCLI tools

The current procedure for configuring
gitdoes not allow it to push commitsbesides the current repository, even if the app token may have access to other
repositories. It also does not allow
gitto clone such a repository.This new procedure configures
ghfirst and then callsgh auth setup-gitto configure
gitso it will work for any repository that the token has access to.
