Command used with act

act -j test_act

Describe issue

I'm facing an issue with act when running any job that tries to clone a repository with actions/checkout while specifying the ref parameter.

      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          ref: act/checkout_ref_error

Actually no, actions/checkout is just replaced by docker cp in that case.

act -s GITHUB_TOKEN should make it possible to run it with a user supplied token, created a invalid token causes more errors than an empty one

@Wenzel Because of your bug and ChrstopherHX's comment, I searched the usage guide and found a section dealing with this. On the Usage page https://nektosact.com/usage/index.html search for GITHUB_TOKEN.

It's a bit counter-intuitive to me that this case needs an auth token, but if you have the gh cli installed then the solution's this simple act -s GITHUB_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)"
