Difficulties with `checkout` Action: Lack of Clarity on Failures

[leebissessar5]

In our CI/CD pipeline, the checkout GH action is a crucial for fetching the repository content into the runner environment. However, we've encountered situations where the action fails or behaves unexpectedly, and the logs do not provide sufficient detail to understand the root cause.

The checkout action was tested with v2-v4, all of which result in the same error: (Error: fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled), with various solutions tried but all of failed to work.

We are looking into an alternative workflow (e.g., CircleCI) and any contributions would be appreciated.
