Checkout error in container runner

[aleks-ivanov]

This is the non-root user I am creating in the Docker image to run the workflow:

RUN useradd --shell /bin/bash --create-home cicd-runner
USER cicd-runner

When I try to simply checkout the repo this error appears:

  /usr/bin/git init /__w/pydeps/pydeps
  /__w/pydeps/pydeps/.git: Permission denied
  Error: The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 1

What permissions do I need to give the non-root user ?
