Secrets aren't available to fork PRs.

The token input is empty. I confirmed by checking the log at the beginning of the checkout step. The token input isn't logged, which means it's empty.

The checkout step should detect this case earlier and print a better error message.

Thank you for clarifying, after detailed reading I found this is has been an issue for many people to access secrets in forked PR in public repo (link1, link2)

Adding error message can be considered as a fix at this moment for this issue

@ericsciple are PRs from @dependabot fork PRs? (Like this one)

token is not empty for me, but I'm getting could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled. See https://github.com/Starkast/wikimum/runs/728992417?check_suite_focus=true#step:2:31. Link to the workflow code that was run.

No, they are not... sorry for the noise, there was an issue with my PAT, it is now working.
