Please can you provide your workflow file? This is likely occurring due to a change in the GitHub API that disabled a legacy authentication method. Please update your workflow so it points to the latest version as this has been since resolved: JamesIves/github-pages-deploy-action@4.2.0.

Additionally it's a good idea to configure a .github/dependabot.yml file with the following so you can get automated pull request updates for your workflows:

version: 2
updates:
  - package-ecosystem: github-actions
    directory: '/'
    schedule:
      interval: daily
      time: '10:00'
    open-pull-requests-limit: 10

Hi @JamesIves, I also started getting this process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 128 error a month or so ago: https://github.com/zmoon/blpd/actions/workflows/docs.yml

[JamesIves]

@zmoon In your case the actual error you're getting is this: remote: Permission to zmoon/blpd.git denied to github-actions[bot].

Please open another discussion and I'll do my best to help you. These issues share a common generic error but they are different issues entirely.

@JamesIves, don't know why, but I just manually bumped to v4.2.0 and now it is working. Thanks!

This worked, thanks so much JamesIves!

I've not created a .github/dependabot.yml and my current .github/workflows doesn't have that file located in the /data repository. How would I go about created a new yml?
