@elfrank commented on GitHub (Sep 9, 2020):

The default image is pretty lean (based on alpine I think) and git isn't included.

I got the same issue and this is what I did:

# download a docker image with more dependencies on it (takes a while)
docker pull nektos/act-environments-ubuntu:18.04

# use -P to run act with the new image
act -P ubuntu-latest=nektos/act-environments-ubuntu:18.04

I had to increase the size of my Docker VM to successfully download and extract the Docker image (in case it fails for you).

Hope that helps :)
