Does not work for private repositories

[e8johan]

When trying to push to a private repository (the same repo that the action is run from), I get a "fatal: repository 'https://github.com//.git/' not found". I've tried using both secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN, and a PAT (via secrets.DEPLOY_PAT). I'm not sure if I'm doing somethign wrong, but I suspect that it might come down to the repo being private.

it works for me for private repos with the GITHUB TOKEN so you must have something set up incorrectly.

I'm trying it from a private repo in a privae org. That might the case. Nevertheless, I managed to work around, so if nobody else encounters this, I'm ok with closing.

@e8johan How did you solve this? I've tried quite a few ways and still badly stuck with this

@e8johan could you please share the workaround you mentioned?

Hi everyone, I fixed this in our repositories by removing the step and replacing it with:

        - name: Push Commit
          run: git push https://${{ secrets.GITHUB_PAT }}@github.com/<REPO_OWNER>/<REPO_NAME>.git

The repo owner is our organisation and the GITHUB_PAT is a personal access token. Hope this helps! 😉

Chances are you'r using actions/checkout@v2 already. It offers a solution to push a commit using the built-in token.

How to make the owner dynamically to the the PR maker?
