Here is my current workflow step names and its timings that it takes. I am using actions/create-github-app-token@v1 as recommended.

1. Checkout code: 1 second
2. Set up Node.js: 1 second
3. Calculate maxPatchPublishDate: 2 seconds
4. Debug maxPatchPublishDate: 1 second
5. Install dependencies: 2 seconds
6. Generate the token for checking out the called workflow repo: 1 second
7. Checkout called workflow repository: 1 second
8. Install AZ modules: 3 minutes
9. Azure login: 20 seconds
10. powershell execution: 1 hour 15 minutes
11. Check if CSV files exists: 1 second
12. Install GitHub CLI: 1 second
13. Authenticate with GitHub CLI: 1 second
14. Re-generate the token: 1 second
15. Create or update file and push changes and create pull request and merge pull request and delete branch: Failing

Here is my code for step #14 and #15

  - name: Re-generate the Token
    uses: actions/create-github-app-token@v1
    id: app-token
    with:
      app-id: ${{ secrets.APP_ID }}
      private-key: ${{ secrets.PRIVATE_KEY }}
      owner: ${{ github.repository_owner }}
      repositories: |
        automation-framework
    
  - name: Create or Update File AND Push Changes AND Create Pull Request AND Merge Pull Request AND Delete Branch
    run: |
      timestamp=$(date +%d-%m-%Y-%H-%M-%S)
      folder_path="Patching_reports/test/$timestamp"
      mkdir -p $folder_path
      mv /tmp/*.csv $folder_path/
    
      git config --global user.name "automation-app[bot]"
      git config --global user.email "automation-app[bot]@users.noreply.github"
    
      git add $folder_path
      git commit -m "suhas-Add patching reports generated on $timestamp"
      GIT_TRACE=1 GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 git push https://x-access-token:${{ steps.app-token.outputs.token }}@github/xxxxxxx/automation-framework.git || echo "Nothing to push

But, The last step is failing with the below error:

remote: Invalid username or password.
fatal: Authentication failed for '[.git/'
Nothing to push
##[debug]Finishing: Create or Update File AND Push Changes AND Create Pull Request AND Merge Pull Request AND Delete Branch

Has anyone come across such issues?

The above code is of the parent /called workflow. This is being invoked from child repo.
