I tried this again a couple weeks later and it's working again. Maybe my computer was just having a day. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Just adding that I've run into this, as well - there's not a lot of data in verbose logs that's very helpful. I can't tell if it's an issue on the GitHub server or with the client.

Even after failing, it hangs, which makes me think it's an odd quirk in act and not a server issue:

...

...hangs...

I actually have to go kill the docker container because I can't even CTL+C out.

Edit:

I think this is happening because I have my SSH key managed by a password manager. Usually when I clone an SSH repository, 1Password pops up for me to authenticate. I have a feeling this may be causing some issues. I'll update here if I find more in case someone finds this as a top search result like I did.
