Thanks to @jpopelka for the fix. I've just released v2.1.0 of this action.

@dashaun #50

How can I actually fix this?

@brunoaugusto The only way I found is #50. If you're still having the issue, you can try my fork@branch

uses: jpopelka/hugo-deploy-gh-pages@safe-directory

until it's fixed in this repo.

Hey there @jpopelka

Just a note to say I've seen this, but currently cannot replicate this. This is the config I've just deployed with

      - name: Deploy the site
        uses: benmatselby/hugo-deploy-gh-pages@main
        env:
          TARGET_REPO: benmatselby/benmatselby.github.io
          TARGET_BRANCH: main
          TOKEN: ${{ secrets.TOKEN }}
          CNAME: benmatselby.dev

I've just started seeing this recently as well.

I found this on StackOverflow:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72978485/git-submodule-update-failed-with-fatal-detected-dubious-ownership-in-repositor

My repo has submodules.

How can I actually fix this?

I've tried several "solutions" and workarounds involving git config (even though I don't have the directory mentioned in the error among my files), tried to take ownership of the directory and nothing worked. In the end, I had to do an update like in the old days, cloning my public repository, compiling Hugo files and committing manually.

Everything was running just fine the past month when I did the last update before the holidays.
