This test assumes that the first branch created by default is 'master', which will break in one of the CI jobs:

  https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/21304166518/job/61328461844#step:9:1942

If we are assuming that we are on the default branch when this "Create commit" step runs, perhaps you can replace your "master^" with "HEAD^" to achieve the same effect in a way that works regardless of what the default branch is called?
