Inputs

name	description	required	default
repositories	Newline-separated repositories in the form of `owner/name` (to checkout the default branch) or `owner/name@ref` where `ref` is a branch name, tag or SHA to checkout.	—	—
path	Relative path under `$GITHUB_WORKSPACE` to place the repositories. Default is `..` so that repositories are cloned to `../owner/name`.	—	—
token	Personal access token (PAT) used to fetch the repository. The PAT is configured with the local git config, which enables your scripts to run authenticated git commands. The post-job step removes the PAT. We recommend using a service account with the least permissions necessary. Also when generating a new PAT, select the least scopes necessary.

ssh-key	SSH key used to fetch the repository. The SSH key is configured with the local git config, which enables your scripts to run authenticated git commands. The post-job step removes the SSH key. We recommend using a service account with the least permissions necessary.

ssh-known-hosts	Known hosts in addition to the user and global host key database. The public SSH keys for a host may be obtained using the utility `ssh-keyscan`. For example, `ssh-keyscan github.com`. The public key for github.com is always implicitly added.	—	—
ssh-strict	Whether to perform strict host key checking. When true, adds the options `StrictHostKeyChecking=yes` and `CheckHostIP=no` to the SSH command line. Use the input `ssh-known-hosts` to configure additional hosts.	—	true
clean	Whether to execute `git clean -ffdx && git reset --hard HEAD` before fetching	—	true
fetch-depth	Number of commits to fetch. 0 indicates all history for all branches and tags.	—	1
lfs	Whether to download Git-LFS files	—	false
submodules	Whether to checkout submodules: `true` to checkout submodules or `recursive` to recursively checkout submodules. When the `ssh-key` input is not provided, SSH URLs beginning with `git@github.com:` are converted to HTTPS.	—	false
