[JENKINS-72766] Declarative Pipeline implicit checkout fails with GitHub app credentials

I uploaded the log that shows that I configured the github app as mentioned in the docs but the declarative checkout doesn't work, all other features work. I got it working by manually configuring GitSCM but it's a bad experience after doing so much setup work for the Github app. 

How I fixed it: 

options {

skipDefaultCheckout true

}

stages {

stage('Checkout') {

steps {

checkout([

$class: 'GitSCM',

branches: [[name: '*/main']],

doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false,

extensions: [],

submoduleCfg: [],

userRemoteConfigs: [[

credentialsId: 'ssh-github',

url: 'git@​github.com:rootitnow/rootstrap.git'

]]

])

}

}
