It is a strange restriction of GitHub. AFAIU you can edit them only on GitHub.

Stumbled over it as well:

It would be nice to detect it and grant workspace scope as we do for private repos.

[AlexTugarev]

@svenefftinge we should add the option to authorize with workflow scope, cf. https://developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/understanding-scopes-for-oauth-apps/#available-scopes

Is there any other way to bypass.

[AlexTugarev]

Hi @fbigun! We'll add the workflow scope soon.

The only known way to update a workflow file without this scope is if it already exists in the repo (could be on another branch)

Workflow files can be committed without this scope if the same file (with both the same path and contents) exists on another branch in the same repository.
