I am having a problem publishing my pkgdown site on GitHub pages. To demonstrate this I have generated an example package available here.
To create this package I used
devtools::create_package("~/Documents/testpackage")
usethis::use_git()
usethis::use_github()
usethis::use_pkgdown_github_pages()
I added a function that just returns a string so that the package wasn't empty, made a roxygen skeleton for it and a testthat script. I tried pushing these changes and it said my PAT didn't have the right permissions to push a GH actions change, so I logged on to GH, granted the PAT authority to do everything and tried again. This resulted in a successful push. However, the GH action that builds the pkgdown site keeps failing here
Running post deployment cleanup jobs… ️
/usr/bin/git checkout -B github-pages-deploy-action/72uicfmll
Reset branch 'github-pages-deploy-action/72uicfmll'
/usr/bin/chmod -R +rw github-pages-deploy-action-temp-deployment-folder
/usr/bin/git worktree remove github-pages-deploy-action-temp-deployment-folder --force
Error: The deploy step encountered an error: The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 128 ❌
Notice: Deployment failed! ❌
I've rerun the action from within GH multiple times and it always fails.
For package versions etc here is the output of sessionInfo()
