Git config not found for centos:7 about github-pages-deploy-action

[JamesIves]

The action is primarily tested on Ubuntu, you may need to install Git or do some other types of configuration on the machine prior to running the action on something other.

@MaicolAntali This error isn't the same as the one in the original post. You're running into a branch protection issue - "remote: error: GH006: Protected branch update failed for refs/heads/docs."

I got a similar error on ubuntu-latest
