ci: mark workspace safe for git so mike can deploy docs in-container#91
Merged
Conversation
The deploy-docs workflows run inside cubertgmbh/cuvis_pyil and check out the
repo as a different owner than the container user, so git refused the
workspace ("fatal: not in a git directory") at the "Configure git for mike"
step and the gh-pages deploy never ran. Add
`git config --global --add safe.directory "$GITHUB_WORKSPACE"` right after
checkout in both deploy workflows, matching the sister repos.

Problem
The docs deploy that ran after #88 merged to
mainfailed at the Configure git for mike step withfatal: not in a git directory(run 26879965556). The deploy workflows run inside thecubertgmbh/cuvis_pyilcontainer, whereactions/checkoutleaves the workspace owned by a different user than the container runs as, so git refuses to operate on it. As a resultgh-pagesis never created and the site never publishes.Fix
Add
git config --global --add safe.directory "$GITHUB_WORKSPACE"right after checkout in both deploy workflows (nightly + versioned), matching the sister repos.docs-check.ymlruns onlymkdocs build(no git/mike), so it doesn't need it.After merge
The push to
mainre-runs the nightly deploy, which createsgh-pagesand publishes the site. A maintainer then switches Settings → Pages → Deploy from branch:gh-pages.
