Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Modify GitHub workflow file in a non master branch
2. Push changes to repository

Expected behavior

Visual Studio Github extensions has enough rights to create or update a workflow

Logs

Seconding this issue.

This issue is referenced here. It seems that the application simply needs to be updated to request use of the workflow scope when it requests tokens.

I mainly use VS + Windows Terminal to perform git operations. It's been weeks now and this issue is still very annoying. Would be nice to get some sort of ETA.

@RehanSaeed any chance you could open a ticket here:
https://support.github.com/contact

I now work in developer support rather than on this extension. If you open a ticket, I'll be able to track it there and hopefully get it fixed!

Please mention @jcansdale so it will be routed to me. 😄

@jcansdale Done

Hey folks 👋 could you try installing the vsix/GitHub.VisualStudio.vsix artifact from here:
https://github-editor-tools.visualstudio.com/VisualStudio/_build/results?buildId=2246&view=artifacts&type=publishedArtifacts

This should request the workflow scope when authenticating. After installing it, you can re-authenticate by clicking on Add/Change Accounts:

Please let me know how you get on!

[RehanSaeed]

If I install this version, will it continue to receive updates?

[jcansdale]

@RehanSaeed you will. This version should simply be ahead of any new releases.

I'm still getting the same error.

[jcansdale]

@seanke have you re-authenticated using a recent version of GitHub for VS? That should fix the issue.

Thanks, I deleted the Visual Studio Application from my github settings and that did the trick.
