I want to copy a github code repository from organization A to organization B. If any PR is merged in master branch of organization A then same PR/changes must reflect in organization B master branch.

For this to work I used github action. Following is the workflow for the action:

name: CI

on:
  push:
    branches: [ "main" ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ "main" ]

  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Run a one-line script
        run: |
          git remote add orgb https://${{ secrets.GIT_ACCESS_TOKEN }}@github.com/orgb/backend.git
          git remote -v
          git fetch orgb
          git push -f orgb $GITHUB_SHA:main

But I am getting following error

remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/orgb/backend.git/' not found
Error: Process completed with exit code 128.

The same steps works locally.

When added a step

- name: Checkout backend from orgb
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          repository: orgb/backend
          path: backend
          token: <token>

Then the job step is executing it

How to solve this?

Also When used https://github.com/marketplace/actions/mirroring-repository Got this error:

Load key "/github/home/.ssh/id_rsa": invalid format
debug1: No more authentication methods to try.
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Which git hooks will be helpful? What other approach should be followed?

mirroring-repository should be enough.

The invalid format, seen also in repository-mirroring-action issue 14 can be the result of a private key with a passphrase.

Try and generate a dedicate key without passphrase (and add the public key to your profile)

ssh-keygen -t rsa -P "" -f ~/.ssh/mirrorKey
                  ^^^^^
                    |
                     -- no passphrase
