remote: Permission to <owner>/<repository>.git denied to github-actions[bot].
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/<owner>/<repository>/': The requested URL returned error: 403
This can be resolved by adding persist-credentials: false and fetch-depth: 0 to the workflow configurations when using the actions/checkout.
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
with:
persist-credentials: false # otherwise, the token used is the GITHUB_TOKEN, instead of the personal access token.
fetch-depth: 0 # otherwise, there would be errors pushing refs to the destination repository.
