Additional options for handling errors with Git Add

[Glidias]

Currently, a failure to git add a file (eg. due to typo/missing file, etc.) will gracefully fail according to the description at link: https://github.com/EndBug/add-and-commit#adding-files

"
The script will not stop if one of the git commands doesn't match any file. E.g.: if your command shows a "fatal: pathspec 'yourFile' did not match any files" error the action will go on.
"

Could there be options like exit immediately, or exit at the end with specific code of warning, etc?

It could be added if it's needed. What would be your use case?

Use case of Github actions (through pull requests and pushes) on Github appearing as a "green Tick" despite having exceptions that occurred during the process of "building" stuff within the action log. Though a more comprehensive version could involve having a file "strict" list or something, at a basic level maybe an option to specify "exitErrorImmediately" , "exitErrorAtEnd" or "noExit" could be done.

This happened due to a typo in the configuration listing out the built files to add/commit. So supposedly without a typo and without changing the filenames of built files (and forgetting to change the filenames for the action config as well), things would be fine for that case.

Perhaps , however for this case, instead of hardcoding the list of files in a JSON array, some string pattern matching approach for the files could be used for the "add" parameter. However, I think this might not be possible or easy to do due to the fact that built files may not be able to retrieve remotely via Github actions, especially since they may often be untracked and added via "git add --force"
