• spotless version
• operating system and version - NA
• copy-paste your full Spotless configuration block(s), and a link to a public git repo that reproduces the problem if possible

If you're just submitting a feature request or question, no need for the above.

Please see google/android-fhir#1437.

AGP: 7.0.2
Gradle version: 7.4.1

The problem is that GitHub Actions does a shallow clone by default, so origin/master doesn't exist. You can do git fetch origin master before running Spotless, or you can add fetch-depth: 0 to your yaml file.
