Merge strategy does not work

[krzysztof-magosa]

Hi.
We've tried checkout-strategy: merge but it does not work, Atlantis is configured as GH App.

running git clone --branch master --single-branch https://:<redacted>@github.com/performgroup/iae-general-tf.git /data/repos/performgroup/iae-general-tf/1216/default: Cloning into '/data/repos/performgroup/iae-general-tf/1216/default'...
remote: Repository not found.
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/performgroup/iae-general-tf.git/': exit status 128

Is https://:<redacted> the actual URL? There's no username, it should be https://username:<redacted>

[krzysztof-magosa]

It's exact copy/paste. Maybe lack of username is caused by fact it's installed as GH APP?

Same here.

I was setting up a fresh Atlantis as a GitHub App with checkout-strategy: merge.
I switched to default strategy after seeing this issue and everything worked, so thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

In case it helps narrow it down, the contents of both /home/atlantis/.git-credentials and /home/atlantis/.gitconfig are the same in both cases and running directly the git clone command inside the Atlantis container works when removing the :<redacted> bit.

Same as above. We have applied the branch strategy workaround which works for now, but now we find the same behaviour above when the PR is openned from a fork. Had no issues with forks in the non GitHub App configuration, using allow-fork-prs in both situations.
