Note:
- SSH support is new
- `persist-credentials` is new
- `path` behavior is different (refer [below](#path) for details)
- `submodules` was removed (error if specified; add later if needed)

### Persist credentials
Persist the token in the git config (http.extraheader). This will allow users to script authenticated git commands, like `git fetch`.
The credentials will be persisted on disk. This will allow users to script authenticated git commands, like `git fetch`.
A post script will remove the credentials from the git config (cleanup for self-hosted).
A post script will remove the credentials (cleanup for self-hosted).
Users may opt-out by specifying `persist-credentials: false`
Note:
- Users scripting `git commit` may need to set the username and email. The service does not provide any reasonable default value. Users can add `git config user.name <NAME>` and `git config user.email <EMAIL>`. We will document this guidance.
- The auth header (stored in the repo's git config), is scoped to all of github `http.https://github.com/.extraheader`
#### PAT
When using the `${{github.token}}` or a PAT, the token will be persisted in the local git config. The config key `http.https://github.com/.extraheader` enables an auth header to be specified on all authenticated commands `AUTHORIZATION: basic <BASE64_U:P>`.
Note:
- The auth header is scoped to all of github `http.https://github.com/.extraheader`
- Additional public remotes also just work.
- If users want to authenticate to an additional private remote, they should provide the `token` input.
- Lines up if we add submodule support in the future. Don't need to worry about calculating relative URLs. Just works, although needs to be persisted in each submodule git config.
- Users opt out of persisted credentials (`persist-credentials: false`), or can script the removal themselves (`git config --unset-all http.https://github.com/.extraheader`).
#### SSH key
The SSH key will be written to disk under the `$RUNNER_TEMP` directory. The SSH key will
be removed by the action's post-job hook. Additionally, RUNNER_TEMP is cleared by the
runner between jobs.
The SSH key must be written with strict file permissions. The SSH client requires the file
to be read/write for the user, and not accessible by others.
The user host key database (`~/.ssh/known_hosts`) will be copied to a unique file under
`$RUNNER_TEMP`. And values from the input `ssh-known-hosts` will be added to the file.
The SSH command will be overridden for the local git config:
```sh
git config core.sshCommand 'ssh -i "$RUNNER_TEMP/path-to-ssh-key" -o StrictHostKeyChecking=yes -o CheckHostIP=no -o "UserKnownHostsFile=$RUNNER_TEMP/path-to-known-hosts"'
```
When the input `ssh-strict` is set to `false`, the options `CheckHostIP` and `StrictHostKeyChecking` will not be overridden.
Note:
- When `ssh-strict` is set to `true` (default), the SSH option `CheckHostIP` can safely be disabled.
Strict host checking verifies the server's public key. Therefore, IP verification is unnecessary
and noisy. For example:
> Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '140.82.113.4' to the list of known hosts.
- Since GIT_SSH_COMMAND overrides core.sshCommand, temporarily set the env var when fetching the repo. When creds
are persisted, core.sshCommand is leveraged to avoid multiple checkout steps stomping over each other.
- Modify actions/runner to mount RUNNER_TEMP to enable scripting authenticated git commands from a container action.
- Refer [here](https://linux.die.net/man/5/ssh_config) for SSH config details.
