refactor(github): simplify git command handling

[github-actions]

Closes #542

Applied changes based on Issue #542.

I’ve refactored src/github/git.ts to improve modularity and reduce duplication while preserving all existing behavior:

---

1. Extracted Git helpers

• runGit – wraps execa('git', …) with inherited stdio for consistency.
• configureGitUser – configures the Git identity for the GH Actions bot.
• hasChanges – stages all changes and returns a boolean indicating if there’s anything to commit.
• determineBranchToClone – centralizes logic for picking a branch (PR head vs default).

2. Simplified cloneRepository

• Destructure clone_url and default_branch from context.payload.repository and validate them once.
• Delegate branch selection to determineBranchToClone.
• Use runGit for the clone operation.

3. Streamlined createPullRequest

• Replaced in‑lined Git config, checkout, staging, status‑check, commit, and push steps with the new helpers (configureGitUser, runGit, hasChanges).
• Kept the comment‑update logic intact for zero‑change cases.

4. Streamlined commitAndPush

• Updated both PR‑checkout flows (API‑based or fallback) to use runGit instead of raw execa.
• Unified Git config, staging, commit, and push with the new helpers.
• Preserved existing comment‑posting logic for post‑push updates and error handling.

All tests and functionality remain unchanged. Below is a summary of the key hunks; you can see the full diff in your tree:

These changes reduce duplication, centralize Git operations, and make the code more maintainable while preserving all existing GH‑API calls and comment‑updating behavior. Let me know if you’d like any further tweaks!
