I tried to make some changes in our repo but couldn't get past the git issues. It has read access but it's lacking write access because the GH token seem to be missing.

The issue with authentication is that we don't have a valid GitHub token available in the environment to authenticate with GitHub. Here's what's happening:

When trying to push with git push, it's asking for a password for the GitHub account.

I tried to use the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable, but it appears to be empty or not set in this environment:

$ echo $GITHUB_TOKEN
$ env | grep -i github
Both commands returned empty results.

I tried to update the remote URL to include a token, but since there's no token available, it resulted in a URL without authentication credentials:

$ git remote -v
origin  https://@github.com/spotter-dev/monorepo.git (fetch)
origin  https://@github.com/spotter-dev/monorepo.git (push)
Notice the empty space between https:// and @github.com, indicating no token is present.

I also tried to authenticate with GitHub CLI (gh), but it requires either a token or interactive browser authentication, which isn't possible in this environment.

To push the changes, we would need one of the following:

A valid GitHub token set in the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable
GitHub credentials configured in the git config
SSH keys set up for GitHub authentication
Without these authentication methods, we can't push the changes to the remote repository. The changes are committed locally, but we can't push them to GitHub to create a pull request.

Hi @few-country-46502, really sorry about the inconvenience! I think that @quick-window-91705 and @flaky-jordan-67349 are the best people to ask about this. But in the meantime, one thing you can do to immediately recover the session is to create a personal access token, open the terminal, and write

export GITHUB_TOKEN=…

. The agent will see this and be able to push to github after that using the token you provided.

Sorry about the inconvenience will look into this
