Act version

act version 0.2.30

Feature description

I have tried this for the first time and pasted GH token inside [ ] braces, which caused fails in clone public repos.

$ sudo ./bin/act -s GITHUB_TOKEN=[ghp_something] 
[BuildTest/build] 🚀  Start image=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-20.04
[BuildTest/build]   🐳  docker pull image=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-20.04 platform= username= forcePull=false
[BuildTest/build]   🐳  docker create image=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-20.04 platform= entrypoint=["/usr/bin/tail" "-f" "/dev/null"] cmd=[]
[BuildTest/build]   🐳  docker run image=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-20.04 platform= entrypoint=["/usr/bin/tail" "-f" "/dev/null"] cmd=[]
[BuildTest/build]   ☁  git clone 'https://github.com/ros-tooling/setup-ros' # ref=v0.2
[BuildTest/build] Unable to clone https://github.com/ros-tooling/setup-ros refs/heads/v0.2: authentication required
[BuildTest/build] 🏁  Job succeeded
Error: authentication required

Even if the repo ros-tooling is public it is falling to clone. I think this is not the desired behavior.

This might be related to https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/1161 - when using an enterprise Github, mark actions to be downloaded from github.com

act version 0.2.70 clone a public repository is working but GITHUB_TOKEN needs to be supplied.

act pull_request -s GITHUB_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)" -W .husky-ext-act/act.yml -j calculate -e .husky-ext-act/act.payload.json --action-offline-mode --artifact-server-path .husky-ext-act/.artifacts
