The problem

Dockerized self-hosted runner (https://github.com/myoung34/docker-github-actions-runner) does not reset its local storage when a task is finished.

Thus, a newly created PR via worker#5 cannot be fetched via worker#7 because its not a fast-forward change.

This makes the later hasDiff logic that stops pushing if the actual content has no difference (the commit hashes are different because the commit has different createdAt timestamp.

Solution

Adding force option to git.fetch will overwrite previously cached branch information.

Justification

I found that all four git.fetch command in create-or-update-branch.ts already has the force option except the one changed in this PR.

Alternatives

I may add manual rm -rf /working/.git command before all self-hosted actions, but the above justification makes this solution more desirable.

Hi @leeopop

Thank you for contributing.

I think adding --force to that fetch should be fine. I can't think of any potential issues.
