Git version problem with Ubuntu 18.04
See original GitHub issueProblem
Because the images use ubuntu:18.04, the git version is 2.17.1, checkout@v3 throws this warning message:
The repository will be downloaded using the GitHub REST API
To create a local Git repository instead, add Git 2.18 or higher to the PATH
This causes some problems with committing inside the self-hosted runner, meaning you will get an error like this when you try to commit:
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
I don’t know if there’s a specific reason we use 18.04 but is it possible to bump the ubuntu version to 20.04 since it is LTS as well?
