Issue ref: #146

The issue is back after upgrading actions/checkout from v5 to v6.
I suspect it has something to do with this change: actions/checkout#2286

Downgrading the checkout-action fixed my workflow again.

    Thanks for reporting this <3
    It most likely has to do with the issue you linked: I'll keep this issue open just to keep track of it.
    If they do intend to make a breaking change regarding how authentication is persisted, then an update to this action will be needed as well.
    But let's first try to see if it's a bug or an intended breaking change on their part.

    There appears to be some progress on this and from what I understand the solution involves passing a filepath to the docker-container.

    Sorry to chime in, but did set persist-credentials to true in the checkout action? Because that lead to this error in my case...
