File overwrite in Github Repo Folder - Failing with "Error: Process completed with exit code 1"

[jairamjidgekar]

Hi All,

I have a python script which scrapes data from the wiki page and writes to csv file.

I have scheduled the file using GH Actions every 1 day.

To test the functionality, I ran the workflow manually for the first time. The CSV file got successfully downloaded and placed in the desired folder.
Second time, when I reran it, I was expecting it to replace/overwrite the file in the same folder(path). But it didn't. It failed with the below error:
"Error: Process completed with exit code 1"

I tried multiple options of pushing the files forcefully in the commit part, but to no luck.

Python code:

CH_DF = pd.DataFrame(List_With_Links) 
 
file_path='Data/' --Path in Github Repository
file_name=file_path+'List_of_Defense_Minister'+'.csv'
CH_DF.to_csv(file_name, index=False,encoding='utf-8-sig')

YML file code snippet:

--Add new files in folder, commit along with other modified files, push
      - id: commit
        name: Commit files
        run:
          git config --local user.name actions-user

          git config --local user.email "actions@github.com"
          
          git fetch

          git add *

          git commit -am "GH Action   Updated file    $(date)" 
 
          git push -f origin main

Can you please guide me here.

Thanks in advance.
