Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/446

Hi, I'm new to github actions generally, and act specifically (great tool btw, thanks!), so this may be an issue in my understanding or setup.

Briefly, my script appears to be failing due to git not being installed in the node:12.6-buster-slim image act is using. While running npm install command it errors out with "Error while executing: undefined ls-remote ...", which is pretty clearly an attempt to run a git command.

Furthermore, if I shell into the container and do apt-get update && apt-get install git, the npm install command will succeed.
