I don’t use public repos very often but I had toyed with the idea of just creating a git user specifically for an agent to use for this purpose so it would not be my user account, is this not standard practice already? Kinda seems obvious to me, I mean so people can tell which parts of my public project were commits managed by an agent.

I do this so that AI can only have limited GitHub permissions. It can't merge, doesn't have admin rights, etc.

This after I started catching it commit directly to upstream main without PRs among other things.
