Since a few days, my automated job is unable to create new PR using create-pull-request Github Action

The error is the following:

Checking the base repository state
  /usr/bin/git symbolic-ref HEAD --short
  main
  Working base is branch 'main'
  /usr/bin/git remote prune origin
  fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com/': No such device or address
  Error: The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 128

@peter-evans many thanks for your quick reply :)

I thought my token was ok, but I regenerated a new one to check

I'll close the issue once I confirm it's ok :)
