This setup doesn’t work for me:

```auto
name: Deploy website
on: [push]
jobs:
  build-and-upload:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    container:
      image: gitea.example.com/private-org/image
      credentials:
        username: ${{ gitea.actor }}
        password: ${{ gitea.token }}
    steps:
      - run: pwd

```

I’m not sure if the credentials are getting through:

```auto
