Fix: error obtaining VCS status: exit status 128. Use -buildvcs=false to disable VCS stamping. (typecheck)

In Github Actions we got this:

foo/main.go:1: : error obtaining VCS status: exit status 128
Use -buildvcs=false to disable VCS stamping. (typecheck)

It worked fine locally.

Here is how we solved it:

# file: .github/actions/fixes/action.yaml
name: "Fix env var HOME, git permissions, and setup access for private Go modules via SSH"
description: "Fix env var HOME, git permissions, and setup access for private Go modules via SSH"
runs:
  using: "composite"
  steps:
  - name: Fix HOME Directory
    shell: bash
    run: |
      # Issue [HOME is overridden for containers](https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/863)
      h=$(getent passwd $(id -un) | cut -d: -f6)
      if [ "$h" = "$HOME" ]; then
        echo "HOME fine: $HOME"
        exit 0
      fi
      echo "HOME=$HOME was broken. Setting it to $h"
      ls -ld $HOME
      ls -ld $h
      echo "USER: $USER"
      echo "id: $(id)"
      echo "HOME=$h" >> $GITHUB_ENV

  - name: Fixup git permissions
    # https://github.com/actions/checkout/issues/766
    shell: bash
    run: git config --global --add safe.directory "$GITHUB_WORKSPACE"

In the action add this after checkout before running golangci-lint:

      - uses: ./.github/actions/fixes

Now the above error is gone.
