Authentication fails

[aiurovet]

Hi team,

I've set up logins using PAT a while ago. Now, I'm trying to use your GitHub action to push files from a private repo doul to another private one doul-bin, but getting an error fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/aiurovet/doul-bin.git/':

      - name: Push the output to bin repository
        uses: dmnemec/copy_file_to_another_repo_action@main
        env:
          API_TOKEN_GITHUB: ${{ secrets.API_TOKEN_GITHUB }}
        with:
          source_file: 'bin/${{ runner.os }}'
          destination_repo: 'aiurovet/doul-bin'
          destination_folder: '${{ runner.os }}'
          user_email: 'aiurovet@***'
          user_name: 'aiurovet'

So what am I doing wrong?

Please note also that the source project uses master branch, but the destination one uses main. Could this be a potential source of trouble? What does INPUT_DESTINATION_BRANCH mean, and how does input differ from source?

Here is the full output:

I guess you forgot to set API_TOKEN_GITHUB in repository Secrets.

Yes, thanks, I figured that out already. It works, but unfortunately, is not usable for my purposes. I was going to build executables and icons for each platform separately, then copy to respective folder of another project. This solution, however, is not working on a Windows machine (possibly, will with some extra installs). Anyway, I decided to use a different approach.
