netlify link works locally but freezes in Github Actions (CI)

[mklueh]

Describe the bug

Netlify CLI freezes the CI process during netlify link command.

Steps to reproduce

I was trying to deploy to Netlify using Netlify CLI with those commands in an NX executor:

netlify link --id my-site-id --debug
netlify deploy --debug --dir .

Github Actions runs minutes until some timeout of CI is reached and then it terminates.

If it terminates or if I abort, this is the last message I'm seeing

Adding local .netlify folder to .gitignore file... ? What would you like to do? (Use arrow keys) ❯ Link this directory to an existing site

• Create & configure a new site Linked to my-site-name-on-netlify in /home/runner/work/my-project/.netlify/state.json

The only way I get it working is adding .netlify/state.json to Git and removing the netlify link command.

Configuration

No response
