don't require auth token for linting

would be cool if linting wouldn't require an auth token so it can run in PRs from people not part of the repo

Bump. Just hit this myself too.

Furthermore, when I tried to create a personal access token with public_repo permission, and provided it as the GITHUB_TOKEN env value, I got this error during the job run:

Error: HttpError: You must authenticate via a GitHub App.

The action uses GITHUB_TOKEN from the env. What you could try is intentionally making it empty (e.g. setting an empty string via env in the action). I'm using the token to create check runs, so it will show one of those nice annotations. I'm not really sure why github doesn't allow this without auth.

Is this still an issue?

I'm trying something else now, so this isn't an issue for me anymore.

On 3283e66 I changed it so the check run is ignored if permissions are not there. This way the action should still fail, and you only get the fancy check run if you have permissions.
