Describe the bug
When using "add" with multiple inputs as a JSON or YAML array, it logs an error and does not add any files.

Workflow used
YAML array (multiline list): pyconau/2023-website@0f778f1
JSON array (single line): pyconau/2023-website@d3f7248

Expected behavior
Multiple invocations of git add would be run to add multiple directories to the git staging area

Hi, I see that you're using an old version of the action: can you update to the latest one and try again?
You can find all breaking changes in the release notes ;)

If anyone else ends up here because they are confused...

The add data is a multiline string interpreted as a YAML array, like OP tried. The problem is OP used a very old version (v5.3.0) while arrays has been supported since v6.
