I'm using actions/checkout@v2 which lets you run authenticated git commands like git pull.

On act, I get a prompt for login when running git pull but this works fine when running real Action.

When running the real Action, I see http.https://github.com/.extraheader=AUTHORIZATION: basic *** in the git config - but this is missing when running with act.
