Repository not found

[ntoskrnl]

We've been using actions/checkout@v1 with default configuration (no parameters) an everything was ok.

Now we are getting error on fetching repo:

Error: fatal: repository 'https://github.com/...' not found

It's a private repo in our organization. Here's the full log.

Tried with latest version – same error.

We are also facing the same issue. We are using actions/checkout@v1

[theboolean]

It seems related to a Github Actions major outage: https://www.githubstatus.com/

I'm facing the same issue

Same here :(

We are having the same issue as well when trying to checkout additional (tools) repo.
Main checkout works as expected.

So any ideas how to fix this?

@yhrabovskyinomi I just created Personal access token and it worked

[yhrabovskyinomi]

this is weird. I've re-created same token with same permissions and it started to work too. Magic xD

@ntoskrnl For me, this also started working when creating a new github acces token and adding it to my workflow.

Is someone seeing this again ? There is this which is ongoing at the moment.

We're hitting this as well. In our case we have 2 jobs, both start with a checkout, the first works fine, the second fails on the submodules.

Edit, OK we had to set the setting to not clear the credentials.
