Trouble with setting push: options

[barrettj12]

Bug description

I am trying to set the options so that git will force push. Following the README, I originally tried to set the following option in my config:

push: origin ${branch input} --force --set-upstream

but this gave the following error:

error: src refspec ${branch does not match any
error: src refspec input} does not match any

From this, I figured that ${branch input} was not supposed to be used literally in the command. From this SO question, I found out that ${GITHUB_REF##*/} should return the current branch, so I tried changing it to:

push: origin ${GITHUB_REF##*/} --force --set-upstream

However, this now makes it so that nothing at all is pushed:

  > Pushing commit to repo...
  
  {
    pushed: [],
    repo: '<my-repo>',
    remoteMessages: RemoteMessageSummary { all: [] }
  }
  > No tags to push.

while the log should look something like

  > Pushing commit to repo...
  
  {
    pushed: [],
    update: {
      head: { local: 'refs/heads/main', remote: 'refs/heads/main' },
      hash: { from: '<hash1>', to: '<hash2>' }
    },
    branch: { local: 'main', remote: 'main', remoteName: 'origin' },
    repo: '<my-repo>',
    ref: { local: 'refs/remotes/origin/main' },
    remoteMessages: RemoteMessageSummary { all: [] }
  }
  > No tags to push.

Workflow used

on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  make-pdf:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - (... step that creates `main.pdf` file in CI env)
      - name: Upload PDF to repo
        uses: EndBug/add-and-commit@v7.4.0
        with:
          add: 'main.pdf'
          pull: 'NO-PULL'
#          push: origin ${GITHUB_REF##*/} --force --set-upstream

Expected behavior

The main.pdf file would be added to the current branch in my repo.

[EndBug]

Oh ok, if you're pushing to the same branch that's checked out you can just set push to --force, without anything else, and that should work.
