gemini-invoke workflow contents permission issue #382
Description
Hi Team,
I've created a new repo and went through setup with /setup-github Gemini CLI command.
Created new issue and asked gemini-cli to fix it. On approving the plan I got this error message:
I encountered an error while trying to create a new branch. The GitHub App does not have the required write permission for the repository's contents.
To resolve this, please update the .github/workflows/gemini-invoke.yml workflow file and change the contents permission from read to write.
permissions:
contents: 'write' # <-- Change this from 'read' to 'write'
After making the change and approving the plan again, workflow execution failed with this error:
[Invalid workflow file: .github/workflows/gemini-dispatch.yml#L154](https://github.com/gitrey/gemini-cli-github-action/actions/runs/18877846797/workflow)
The workflow is not valid. .github/workflows/gemini-dispatch.yml (Line: 154, Col: 3):
Error calling workflow 'gitrey/gemini-cli-github-action/.github/workflows/gemini-invoke.yml@abfc54bdfcff343aaf47f5fe0b730c9e72798a73'.
The nested job 'invoke' is requesting 'contents: write', but is only allowed 'contents: read'.
