gitconfig not found

Describe the bug

Using Self Hosted Runners, on Kubernetes I am not able to get the action to finalize. It continues to state [/github/home/.git](error: could not lock config file /github/home/.gitconfig: No such file or directory)

How can we reproduce it?

This is my file that I am using with a self-hosted-runner-set
name: Generate terraform docs
on:
workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
docs:
runs-on: arc-runner-set
container:
image: alpine:latest

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v4
    #with:
    #ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.ref }}


  - name: Render terraform docs inside the README.md and push changes back to PR branch
    uses: terraform-docs/gh-actions@v1.3.0
    with:
      working-dir: ./resources/root/src,./resources/workloads/core_app/src,./resources/workloads/keywords/src,
      output-file: readme.md
      output-method: inject
      git-push: "true"

Environment information

I know this works on Github Hosted runners, but its not working on a self hosted runner. and I have tried a lot of different operating systems for the container.

I have even tried manually creating the file.

This very much sounds like the long standing actions/runner#863 issue. Specially for the fact that you mentioned it works properly in hosted runners.

I suggest try one of the recommended workarounds (like this) and see if it helps, or the issue is really from this action.

Its also Mentioned Here, and alot of packages have had to change the git commit scopes to --system instead of global.

The Mentioned Workaround doesn't appear to fix it @khos2ow
