How to trigger a github action when a github action push code

Question

I have build a github action, which config as

name: clock-in
on:
  workflow_dispatch:
  push:
    paths:
      - 'src/github/log/*'

jobs:
  clock-in:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - ...
      - run: ./src/github/push.sh

and the push.sh

#! /bin/bash

remote_repo="https://${GITHUB_ACTOR}:${GH_TOKEN}@github.com/${GITHUB_REPOSITORY}.git" # remote repo address

git config user.email "41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com"
git config user.name "GitHub Actions"

git add .
git commit -m "update clockin log 😎"
git push

I wish that the github action can be triggered when 'src/github/log/*' file changed and pushed. however, when I make a push, it work normally, but when github action push the change, the new acion is not triggered. How I can make the action triggered when the push comes from github action

You could use a Javascript library for this, such as Knockout or React.

The example from Knockout's page would work great(https://knockoutjs.com/examples/helloWorld.html):

<p>First name: <input data-bind="value: firstName" /></p>
<p>Last name: <input data-bind="value: lastName" /></p>
<h2>Hello, <span data-bind="text: fullName"> </span>!</h2>

// Here's my data model
var ViewModel = function(first, last) {
    this.firstName = ko.observable(first);
    this.lastName = ko.observable(last);
 
    this.fullName = ko.pureComputed(function() {
        // Knockout tracks dependencies automatically. It knows that fullName depends on firstName and lastName, because these get called when evaluating fullName.
        return this.firstName() + " " + this.lastName();
    }, this);
};
 
ko.applyBindings(new ViewModel("Planet", "Earth")); // This makes Knockout get to work
