Fixes the 'fatal: not a git repository' error in the auto-approve workflow by adding the missing actions/checkout@v4 step.

Changes:

  • Added checkout step before checking PR eligibility
  • This provides the git context needed for gh CLI commands to work properly

Issue:
The workflow was failing with 'fatal: not a git repository' because gh commands require a git repository context.

Solution:
Added actions/checkout@v4 as the first step in the workflow to provide the necessary git context.

The gh CLI commands were failing because the repository wasn't checked out.
Added actions/checkout@v4 step to ensure git context is available.
Using pull_request_target instead of pull_request allows the workflow
to run with write permissions even for PRs from forks or bot accounts.
This is necessary for adding labels and approving PRs.
