Plugin "@quarto/netlify-plugin-quarto" failed

[BatoolMM]

Describe the bug

We are using it to deploy a preview of netlify. However, lately, it started giving us this error, as you can see in this PR Open-Science-Community-Saudi-Arabia/OSCSA-en-blog#60

Steps to reproduce

We are using this CI:

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
  push:
  branches: main
  pull_request:
    types: ['opened', 'edited', 'synchronize']
    branches: main

name: 'Netlify Preview Deploy'

jobs:
  build-deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Check out repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Set up Quarto
        uses: quarto-dev/quarto-actions/setup@v2
        with:
          version: pre-release

      - name:  Deploy
      - uses: jsmrcaga/action-netlify-deploy@master
          with:
          NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN }}
          NETLIFY_SITE_ID: ${{ secrets.NETLIFY_SITE_ID }}

      
      - name: Render and Publish
        uses: quarto-dev/quarto-actions/publish@v2
        with:
          target: netlify
          NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN }}
          NETLIFY_SITE_ID: ${{ secrets.NETLIFY_SITE_ID }}

I am unsure if this is a problem with the authentication of GitHub API or ..... Any pointer is really appreciated!

[sagikazarmark]

The problem is that the plugin does not authenticate against GitHub's API and runs into a rate limit (as also explained here)

The octokit client does not automatically detect authentication (unfortunately).

One solution would be adding a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable to Netlify, but this plugin also needs to change it's octokit configuration to something like this:

const octokit = new Octokit({
    auth: process.env.GITHUB_ACTIONS
})
