The documentation might have information on what you could do to fix the problem.

Full output might contain useful information including the git command, git output and settings used. It also helps to search for the problem later on.

URL to the execution

This action works fine when we push directly to a certain branch but I am receiving the above error when there is a pull request.

[cpina]

Is it a public repo? Do you have a link to the action output? (it's easier to see some more variables and information on the origin and destination checking the commits). Thanks!

This is a private repository

[cpina]

I've found at least one place (https://github.com/orgs/Homebrew/discussions/666#discussioncomment-1228144) that mentions that it happened when using https protocol instead of using ssh.

In the docs:
https://cpina.github.io/push-to-another-repository-docs/setup.html#setup-using-ssh-deploy-keys

Would you be able to try setting it up with the SSH deploy keys? (https://cpina.github.io/push-to-another-repository-docs/setup-using-ssh-deploy-keys.html#setup-ssh-deploy-keys)

It would be good to know if it still fails...

[adnanmayo]

@cpina

I have set it up using ssh keys and it is working fine when we push the code directly to a develop branch. it only happens when we merge a PR on github.

[cpina]

I have set it up using ssh keys and it is working fine when we push the code directly to a develop branch. it only happens when we merge a PR on github.

Before I give too many non-relevant details, do you mean that the action works fine when you push into develop in the source repository and then the action pushes it into the target repository? but does not work fine if a PR is involved?

Or that it works fine if you push from your computer to the target repository?

What I want to suggest... could you try reproducing locally the error reading the action and following what it does (https://github.com/cpina/github-action-push-to-another-repository/blob/main/entrypoint.sh). I can give better directions if needed.

[adnanmayo]

do you mean that the action works fine when you push into develop in the source repository and then the action pushes it into the target repository? but does not work fine if a PR is involved?

Yess, it always works fine when we push the code directly to any branch in the source repository. Actions runs successfully when we push to the branch but it does not work when PR is involved.

I am using https://github.com/nektos/act to run GitHub actions locally which runs fine.

I also tried to fork the repo and tried to push the code forcefully from the GitHub actions the error still persists.
This error could be a result of cloning only the last commit. When we copy the dir to the target dir git commit does not exist in the target repository which returns this error.

[cpina]

My only idea at the moment is that, since you already did:

I also tried to fork the repo and tried to push the code forcefully from the GitHub actions the error still persists.

Perhaps you can add "set -x" at the beginning of entrypoint.sh to see the exact commands executed. And then try to execute them by hand and see if it fails / debug it checking step by step / modifying?

Perhaps try removing the "--depth 1" and see if this is causing the problem? (there were some problems in the past in git but I thought that are all solved...)

entrypoint.sh is moving .git folder but I don't see how this would cause an issue only for you.

Is the remote repository changed remotely but another process at the same time as the action is running? Or, can you think what's happening when a PR is involved that is not happening when a PR is not involved?

Sorry for the general ideas and no concrete steps / fixes!
