Fatal error in pushing to gh-pages branch does not cause action to also fail

[IanSaucy]

I've been having some issues with getting the plugin configured for my repository and been working through debugging. Recently I've gotten the following error:

fatal: could not read Password for 'https://***@github.com': No such device or address but this did not cause the github action to fail, instead it reported a success. It appears that there may be a bug on errors that occur later in the build process that are not getting reported correctly.

Below is the final part of the log, the actual Jekyll build succeeds but the part of pushing to the branch fails for some still unknown reason(not the purpose of this issue).

Hi @IanSaucy

Could you change this repository value in your action config to an empty string, and try again?

Thanks and Regards

[IanSaucy]

Hey! I tried it both ways actually and it threw an error without that value specified. That being said, I just switched to back to an empty string and it's still presenting the same error.

Hi @IanSaucy

I saw your action configuration, you should use jeffreytse/jekyll-deploy-action@v0.3.1, the GITHUB_TOKEN was supported from v0.3.1. Hope you have a good day! And welcome to star this project for further updates in the future. : )

Thanks and Regards

[IanSaucy]

Ah good catch! I see you already updated the docs too (: Thanks for the help!
