I am trying to run pre-commit using hooks from a private repository using a GIT_TOKEN.

Before running pre-commit run --all-files, I insert my GIT_TOKEN (which has read access to the hooks repository) into the URL used for GitHub.

git config --global url."https://${GIT_TOKEN}@github.com/".insteadOf "https://github.com/"
git config --global url."https://${GIT_TOKEN}@github.com/".insteadOf "ssh://[email protected]/"

Nonetheless, I get the following error:

An unexpected error has occurred: CalledProcessError: command: ('/usr/bin/git', 'fetch', 'origin', '--tags')
return code: 128
stdout: (none)
stderr:
    fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such device or address
Check the log at /home/jdh/.cache/pre-commit/pre-commit.log

I have the following simple .pre-commit-config.yaml:

- repo: https://github.com/JakobHavtorn/private-repository
  rev: v0.1.0
  hooks:
  - id: some-hook

I have looked through the documentation at https://pre-commit.com but was not able to find much detail on handling private hook repos.

I have verified that my token is correct and is set correctly in the URL (I can clone a different private repository).

I have tried running pre-commit run --all-files locally using try-repo, which works as expected.

I have also tried running the command with a SSH token defined for the github.com host via the /.ssh/config file (see below), which also works as expected.

host github.com
   HostName github.com
   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github
   User git

Thanks for your work on the tool and for taking the time with this question.
