github action fails with error could not read Username for 'https://github.com/'

Question

Im using branch protection on master, but allowing bypass to a user with a PAT set to ${{ secrets.BYPASS }}

The below pipeline fails on the release step with this error.

I believe its the checkout@2 setting persist-credentials: false thats causing the error, but without it i cant get the Automated Version Bump step to work.

Is there a work around?

Run fregante/release-with-changelog@v3
Error: Command failed: git fetch origin +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com/': No such device or address
