Fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

[kashifnaseer]

I used to deploy code from Github to AWS via Github Actions without any issue. But now, the same code suddenly stopped working with the following error:

00:00 git:wrapper

      # code related to  failure
    - name: Fail deploy notification
      # code related to  failure

it looks it connects to the remote server from github actions, but it fails to get the latest changes from github.

i also tried to ask in stack over flow, but there is still no luck with it.

Any idea, what is causing this issue ?
