Error: fatal: repository not found (private repo)

Anyone else getting this? This just started yesterday evening and still getting it. The repository does exist and this flow used to work fine earlier in the day.

...
      - name: "Checkout"
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - run: |
          git checkout ${{ github.event.inputs.ref }}

...

had same issue… what I did to fix it

Go to manage access in settings and make sure you have the right access to push to the repo In command line, run - git remote set-url origin git://new.url.here Set you branch and push again

I noticed once the origin is removed and added again, it fixes the error hopefully this helps

the only way I could get it to work again is to go into your settings on your repo and REVOKE all access to it for github actions, save… then re-grant access for github actions. For whatever reason, next time I ran it, it has its access back.
