failed to add workflow

When trying to add the repo-assist, I get:

🚀 Welcome to GitHub Agentic Workflows!

This tool will walk you through adding an automated workflow to your repository.

ℹ A friendly repository assistant that runs daily to support contributors and maintainers.
Can also be triggered on-demand via '/repo-assist ' to perform specific tasks.

• Comments helpfully on open issues to unblock contributors and onboard newcomers
• Identifies issues that can be fixed and creates draft pull requests with fixes
• Studies the codebase and proposes improvements via PRs
• Updates its own PRs when CI fails or merge conflicts arise
• Nudges stale PRs waiting for author response
• Manages issue and PR labels for organization
• Prepares releases by updating changelogs and proposing version bumps
• Welcomes new contributors with friendly onboarding
• Maintains a persistent memory of work done and what remains
  Always polite, constructive, and mindful of the project's goals.

✓ Target repository: informedica/GenPRES
✓ Working directory is clean

✓ Selected engine: copilot
✓ Using existing COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN secret in repository

The following workflow files will be added:
• .github/workflows/repo-assist.md
• .github/workflows/repo-assist.lock.yml

✗ failed to add workflow: failed to commit files: failed to commit changes: exit status 1

Interesting. Could you try again with --verbose . I wonder if you have some kind of policy in that repo that prevents us committing

I will add a bug in gh-aw repo to give a better error message and leave the files uncomitted.

I'll close this here as it's a generic problem (somehow related to the repo)
