[github actions] could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such device or address

[XilaiZhang]

For cherry pick workflow, we repeatedly hit this error when trying to push the change from local to github. example failed workflow

the error message is could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such device or address with an exit code of 128. and the token listed in environment variable is empty

Things we have tried:

1. using token embedded url for push [github actions] Fix token issue on actions/checkout package #141652. failed workflow
2. remove usage of peter-evans/create-pull-request [github actions] refactor and fix cherry pick actions #140499

currently looking at using ssh keys in github actions and doing more experiments and testings

It's confusing why automatically triggered workflows never hit this problem, and it only happens on workflows triggered by pull requests.

What's more confusing is that I can totally create the PR with the same logic from my personal repository, using flutter actions bots' credentials. example succeeded workflow.

However, actions triggered from the flutter/flutter repository fails

From the api calls, none of the repo is private either.

After an entire day and a LOT of research I was finally able to reproduce this with https://github.com/XilaiZhang/miscellaneous-side-project/actions/runs/7619699924/job/20753210562 on my personal repo.

The key is this. tried sooooo many other things before finding this
