`fatal: unsafe repository (REPO is owned by someone else)` with ubuntu 20.04 container
See original GitHub issueHello!
This started happening recently; I see it both with v2.4.0 and v.3.0.0:
Syncing repository: wez/wezterm
Getting Git version info
Deleting the contents of '/__w/wezterm/wezterm'
Initializing the repository
/usr/bin/git init /__w/wezterm/wezterm
Initialized empty Git repository in /__w/wezterm/wezterm/.git/
/usr/bin/git remote add origin https://github.com/wez/wezterm
Error: fatal: unsafe repository ('/__w/wezterm/wezterm' is owned by someone else)
To add an exception for this directory, call:
git config --global --add safe.directory /__w/wezterm/wezterm
Error: The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 128
Is there a way to configure/advise the action how to handle this? Is this really a problem elsewhere in the GH actions environment?
