sync-branches: configure git credentials before merge/push step#30
Conversation
Add git identity (user.name, user.email) and authenticated remote URL configuration before the Node.js merge script runs. Without these, merge commits fail when git identity is not set, and push/fetch operations fail when the remote URL lacks authentication. Follows the same pattern used in workflows/autoloop.md for token-based authentication via GITHUB_TOKEN env var.
