github-pages-deploy-action: Permission denied

When using actions/checkout@v1, I receive the following error from this action:

 Publish gh-pagess
Deployment Failed ❌

If I switch to actions/checkout@v2, everything works fine. However, that breaks several other actions I use, and it’s not feasible to upgrade them all at this time.

Shouldn’t this lib be backwards-compatible with both? If not, can I downgrade to a version of it that is/which one would that be?

To add to the conversation am getting the same error with a new repo

I’ll start trying to debug see where I get

EDIT: nevermind I spelt my secret name wrong, got it working fine
