🌐 Web query:

actions/checkout persist-credentials input defaults true git config credential.helper

💡 Result:

The persist-credentials input in actions/checkout is set to true by default [1][2]. This setting controls whether the action configures Git to use the provided authentication token or SSH key for subsequent Git commands within the workflow job [3][4]. When persist-credentials is set to true, the action configures local Git settings so that scripts in your workflow can run authenticated Git commands (e.g., git fetch, git push) without needing to manually provide credentials [3][4]. Regarding your query on git config credential.helper: 1. Mechanism: Historically, actions/checkout persisted credentials by writing them directly into the local.git/config file [4][2]. Since version v6.0.0, the action has been updated to improve security by storing credentials in a separate file located in $RUNNER_TEMP, rather than directly in.git/config [4][5]. 2. Interaction with credential.helper: actions/checkout does not explicitly rely on a standard Git credential.helper (as documented in git-scm.com [6]) to manage this token. Instead, it directly manipulates Git configuration (using git config --local) to inject the token or SSH key, effectively making them available to the Git environment for the duration of the job [5][7]. The token is then automatically removed during the post-job cleanup phase [3][4]. Security Note: Because this mechanism makes the credentials accessible to any process running within the job, there have been ongoing discussions and community requests to change the default value to false to enhance security [8][9]. If you require higher security, you should explicitly set persist-credentials: false in your workflow step [3][4].

Citations:

Make checkout credential persistence explicit where credentials are used. Since actions/checkout continues to expose the GitHub token to authenticated Git commands in the job, add persist-credentials: false to the listed checkouts unless later steps need authenticated Git operations; unset any persisted credential store afterward if it must remain true.

Disable persisted checkout credentials before running repository code in both jobs.

This workflow checks out the repo before running repository scripts and Docker compose commands, but actions/checkout leaves the GitHub token in .git/config by default. Add with: persist-credentials: false to the checkout steps so downstream scripts cannot read the checkout token.
