these types of pull requests. However, you can bypass this restriction by ### Without a Personal Authentication Token

visiting [https://github.com/settings/tokens]() and select at least the scope Without using a Personal Authentication Token, you can manually run the following to kick off a CI run:
`repo`. Then store this token in your repository secrets (i.e.
'https://github.com/<USER>/<REPO>/settings/secrets/actions') as ```
`GH_TOKEN_FOR_UPDATES`. git branch -D update_flake_lock_action

git checkout update_flake_lock_action
git commit --amend --no-edit
git push origin update_flake_lock_action --force

### With a Personal Authentication Token
By providing a Personal Authentication Token, the PR will be submitted in a way that bypasses this limitation (GitHub will essentially think it is the owner of the PAT submitting the PR, and not an Action).
You can create a token by visiting https://github.com/settings/tokens and select at least the `repo` scope. Then, store this token in your repository secrets (i.e. 'https://github.com/<USER>/<REPO>/settings/secrets/actions') as `GH_TOKEN_FOR_UPDATES` and set up your workflow file like the following:

## Running GitHub Actions CI
GitHub Actions will not run workflows when a branch is pushed by or a PR is opened by a GitHub Action. To work around this, try:
```
git branch -D update_flake_lock_action
git fetch origin
git checkout update_flake_lock_action
git commit --amend --no-edit
git push origin update_flake_lock_action --force
```
