Make token semantics match actions/checkout

[jcbhmr]

this pr would...

• make it say token: ${{ secrets.TOKENHERE }} in readme
• use https://x:$TOKEN@github.com/user/repo.wiki.git in git ops
• set default to token: ${{ github.token }} in action.yml
• not change anything else

I just remembered that gh is installed in actions, and we can use that.
Just set the environment variable GH_TOKEN when using gh, and clone with gh repo clone ${{ inputs.repository }}.wiki. It should simplify authentication concerns, and is worth checking out.

ill have to try that! idk if itll work since it's not cloning a project, but cloning the .wiki.git git repo.

basically, the question is: does this work?

gh repo clone spenserblack/actions-wiki.wiki
gh repo clone spenserblack/actions-wiki.wiki.git

???

i havent tried so it might work, or might not 🤷‍♂️

also question is if gh repo clone supports different non-github.heygears.com enterprie-hosted github instances. basically, does it support $GITHUB_SERVER_URL

[jcbhmr]

@spenserblack 🥳 it works!

[jcbhmr]

i think merge this with the $GITHUB_ACTOR thing, and then in the future consider the gh cli instead? sound good @spenserblack ?

Yeah, gh should be able to support other hosts. The format of the repo URL for most gh commands is [HOST/]OWNER/REPO.
