this workflow is not working in my repository about jamesgeorge007 HOT 7 OPEN

With required scope you mean clicking only on the "workflow" box right?

Scopes let you specify exactly what type of access you need. Scopes limit the access for OAuth tokens.

The workflow scope grants the ability to add and update GitHub Actions workflow files, which we don't need. You have to select the following scopes for your access token for this to work,

PS: You can read more about scopes here in docs.

And adding it as a secret to my repository is done just by filling the boxes on "New Repository Secret" with said token and a custom name

Yes, when you've generated an access token with the correct required scope then as the next step you have to create a secret for your repository with the generated token, you can give the secret any name of your choice.

do I also need to change the yml file by, instead of ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} using ${{ secrets.MY_OWN_SECRET }}

Let's say you chose the name MY_SECRET_GITHUB_TOKEN for your secret then in the github-action yml file you must use it as ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET_GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Hope it helps!

My repo link:- https://github.com/Lucifer-00007/Lucifer-00007/blob/main/.github/workflows/update-readme.yml

Should i replace :- " GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} " ??

Same here

You need to generate a github-access-token from your GitHub account settings section with the required scope and then add it as a secret to your repository. I just used it for my repository.

I believe the right place for this issue was the action's repository.

It helps! Thanks a lot! I think we can click "actions" tag, select "Update README", and click "Run workflow" after following your suggestion, so that we can see updates immediately. 😄
