Fix name in "Use template" GitHub action#2

The action uses the account's user name ($GITHUB_ACTOR) instead of the account's real name (cf.). GitHub itself uses the real name to initialize repositories. This leads to inconsistencies and should therefore be changed IMO.

    Is it possible to get the real name when the action is being run?

    I don't know. The official docs seem to only list $GITHUB_ACTOR.

    Maybe you want to look up the real name using the GitHub API, curl and jq:

    REAL_NAME=$(curl -s "https://api.github.com/users/$GITHUB_ACTOR" | jq -r .name)
