Output directory permissions

Hi

I ran into an issue with permissions on the generated output folder.
The jekyll build output is as expected, but the download-artifact step fails due to missing permissions.
I tried adding - run: mkdir -p ./output/publish in between the two steps, but that fails due to missing permissions as well.

...
      - uses: actions/jekyll-build-pages@v1
        with:
          destination: ./output
      - uses: actions/download-artifact@v3
        with:
          path: ./output/publish
...

The workaround i have now is adding - run: mkdir ./output before the jekyll build step, which makes it have the necessary permissions.

According to the similar issue #18, since this action is a Docker action and GitHub Actions requires that

Docker actions must be run by the default Docker user (root).
_{https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/dockerfile-support-for-github-actions#user}

the destination directory, if created by this action, is always owned by user root.

Therefore this issue is not a bug and there're no better workarounds than sudo or creating the destination directory before using this action.

Makes sense, and the work around isn't too bad.
Closing 🙂
