The PAT is configured with the local git config, which enables your scripts to run authenticated git commands. The post-job step removes the PAT. We recommend using a service account with the least permissions necessary. Also when generating a new PAT, select the least scopes necessary.

I put it in the issue title, but, to expand, this section of the github action is not performed:

Setting up auth 
  /usr/bin/git config --local --name-only --get-regexp core\.sshCommand
  /usr/bin/git submodule foreach --recursive git config --local --name-only --get-regexp 'core\.sshCommand' && git config --local --unset-all 'core.sshCommand' || :

Determining the default branch
  Retrieving the default branch name

You can see in the act run this comment:

When the `ssh-key` input is not provided, SSH URLs beginning with `git@github.com:` are converted to HTTPS.

but the corresponding commands from the github action run are never executed.

@hexmode commented on GitHub (Nov 14, 2021):

This is my fault. I did not set GITHUB_TOKEN.

This suggests that "MAKE SURE YOUR GITHUB_TOKEN IS SET IF YOU ARE TRYING TO USE ACTIONS THAT REQUIRE IT" should be a more visible message in the documentation and displayed on failure for a possible fix to the failure.

GITHUB_TOKEN was in the environment, but it was empty. When it is set in the environment is a good time to highlight that it is not available.

Looking around for how GITHUB_TOKEN is set, I saw the documentation I found a brief reference in the README.

Since the token is used for various Github services and this tool is meant to "Run your GitHub Actions locally", that would suggest that this should be more clearly spelled out.

I've updated the issue title so that it this (suggesting setting the GITHUB_TOKEN secret) is something that would be suggested on failure.

I agree that is there. My point is that more could be done to help idiots like myself.

This is especially true since the secret is set automatically when running on Github itself.

If you have any suggestion towards improving documentation, please share.
As for the error in CLI, I'm rather against adding any messages for such specific issues since it can confuse more than help.
