Installing Insiders in GitHub workflow

[sccmcca]

I'd like to install MkDocs Material Insiders as part of my deployment workflow. I've set up the token as an environment variable. Here is my code for deploy.yml:

name: build
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v2
        with:
          python-version: 3.x
        env:
          MKDOCS_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.MKDOCS_TOKEN }}
      - run: pip install -r requirements.txt
      - run: pip install git+https://${MKDOCS_TOKEN}@github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders.git
      - run: mkdocs gh-deploy --force --clean --verbose

However, the workflow runs with the following error. Any ideas how to get unstuck?

Run pip install git+https://${MKDOCS_TOKEN}@github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders.git
  pip install git+https://${MKDOCS_TOKEN}@github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders.git

Are you cloning with the correct account? The token must be associated with a user who has collaborator status.

Installation with the token works when I execute it manually in the command line.

In this case, we're trying to install it with a GitHub action, so does that mean it's cloning with "no" account thus producing the following error?

  fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com/': No such device or address

I'm not sure, I have never seen this error before. You could try adding the account name as described in the issue I linked above and check if the error goes away, but I suspect that the problem lies somewhere else.
