Build-push action requires actions/checkout

Contributing guidelines

[X] I've read the contributing guidelines and wholeheartedly agree

I've found a bug, and:

[X] The documentation does not mention anything about my problem
[X] There are no open or closed issues that are related to my problem

Description

Despite the documentation claiming the opposite, you do need to check out the repository

Expected behaviour

By default, this action uses the Git context, so you don't need to use the actions/checkout action to check out the repository as this will be done directly by BuildKit.

(This is a quote of the documentation from the repo)

Actual behaviour

Build fails because the repository is not checked out. action is fixed by adding a actions/checkout This was also tried with the following added: name: Set up Docker Buildx uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v3
