fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such file or directory

For dependencies that reference a private repo via plugin (example here)..

Is the token input intended to resolve this error or will a git config need to be added to specify a token for each repo?

Thanks for opening this issue!

It is likely indeed that sbt cannot use the token input to resolve private git repositories. But I would like to make it work.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Hi @adpi2 & @felickz!

To solve this issue you must add the following step which is needed to for git clone to work in this scenario.

steps:
      - name: Configure git
        env:
          TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PAT }}
        run: git config --global url."https://${TOKEN}:[x-oauth-basic@github.com](mailto:x-oauth-basic@github.com)/".insteadOf "https://github.com/"
