Hi, I have this action:

name: Generate Documentation

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
  push:
    paths:
    - '**.ts'
    branches:
    - master

jobs:
  genDocs:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Install Node.js
        uses: actions/setup-node@v1
        with:
          node-version: 14

      - name: Install Dependencies
        run: |
          npm ci

      - name: Format & Lint
        run: |
          npm run prettier
          npm run lint

      - name: Generate Documentation
        run: npm run genDocs

      - name: Commit changes
      - run: git init
      - run: git config --global user.email "actions@github.com"

      - run: git add *
      - run: git pull
      - run: git commit --amend --no-edit
      - run: git push origin -f

And I'm getting this error:

good:

You should consider using this format for running multiple commands in one step:

      - name: Commit changes
        run: |
