Private repos?

[amnuts]

Sorry, yet another question as I try to work through things... 😄 This time it's about using private repos.

I'm playing around with the actions on my personal account and I'm trying to pull in a private repository from another account which is an organisation to which I belong and my user account has all the right read/write permissions for the repos there.

I've set up a Personal Access Token under on my personal account and added that as a 'secret' to my test repo. I'm now trying something like this:

name: CI

on: [ push ]

jobs:
    build-test:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        steps:
            -   uses: actions/checkout@v2

            -   name: Setup PHP
                uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
                with:
                    php-version: '7.4'
                    tools: pecl, phpunit, phpcs, phpmd
                    extensions: mbstring, intl, sockets, sodium, zip
                env:
                    COMPOSER_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.COMPOSER_KEY }}

            -   name: Authenticate composer
                run: composer config -g github-oauth.github.com ${{ secrets.COMPOSER_KEY }}

            -   name: Install dependencies
                run: composer install --no-progress --no-suggest --prefer-dist

Everything works until it gets to the private repo, and then it complains that the repo cannot be found (I can copy/paste the 'not found' url and it can be found just fine).

Clearly I'm not doing something right here, so any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Add this step before composer install

- name: Add SSH key
  uses: webfactory/ssh-agent@v0.4.1
  with:
    ssh-private-key: ${{ secrets.CI_SECRET }}

Make sure you have added the ssh key in CI_SECRET to your organization.

Also make sure you have added the private repository in composer.json

{
  "repositories": [
    { "type": "vcs", "url": "git@github.com:your_org/privaterepo" },
  ],
}

Update: Removed step to add github.com to known_hosts as webfactory/ssh-agent does that.
