Using Github Auth provider with github actions.

[piscis]

Hi, I was wondering how I could use the Giftless GitHub Auth provider with GitHub Actions.
Currently, I am using the following method:

1. Clone the Git repository, for example:
   https://github.com/[org]/[repo-name].git
2. The [repo-name].git repository contains a .lfsconfig file with a URL configured to the Giftless server like so:

[lfs]
url = "https://giftless-server.example.com/[org]/[repo-name]"

The first time I pull down lfs objects I had to authenticated with the lfs server.

Does anyone now if there is a similar way to do this in non interactive environments. I tried to expose the github token in github actions but with no success.

You can integrate the Giftless GitHub Auth provider with GitHub Actions to authenticate and manage Large File Storage (LFS) objects securely. This setup allows you to use Git LFS with Giftless, leveraging GitHub Actions for automation

@ugrasenanv thanks for replying. I was actually asking how I could do this. Is there a way in github actions to forward an auth token to the giftless lfs server so the build process can fetch the binaries?

Right now I have the following workflow: clone from https://github.com/foo/bar.git -> fetch lfs through lfsconfig pointing to -> https://my-giftless-server.example.com/foo/bar

When I clone my repo locally my credentials store ask me for user and password when I interact with the LFS server but when I'm using github actions this fails.

I tried preserve_credentials: true // disabled lfs:true in checkout and did a git lfs fetch

But no look sofar
