+### git-auto-commit fails to push commit that creates or updates files in `.github/workflows/`
+
+The default `GITHUB_TOKEN` issued by GitHub Action does not have permission to make changes to workflow files located in `.github/workflows/`.
+To fix this, please create a personal access token (PAT) and pass the token to the `actions/checkout`-step in your workflow. (Similar to [how to push to protected branches](https://github.com/stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action?tab=readme-ov-file#push-to-protected-branches)).
+
+If a PAT does not work for you, you could also create a new GitHub app and use it's token in your workflows. See [this comment in #87](https://github.com/stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action/issues/87#issuecomment-1939138661) for details.
+

 ### Push to protected branches
 
-If your repository uses [protected branches](https://help.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/configuring-protected-branches) you have to make some changes to your Workflow for the Action to work properly: You need a Personal Access Token and you either have to allow force pushes or the Personal Access Token needs to belong to an Administrator.
+If your repository uses [protected branches](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-protected-branches/about-protected-branches) you have to make some changes to your Workflow for the Action to work properly: You need a Personal Access Token and you either have to allow force pushes or the Personal Access Token needs to belong to an Administrator.
 
 First, you have to create a new [Personal Access Token (PAT)](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new),
 store the token as a secret in your repository and pass the new token to the [`actions/checkout`](https://github.com/actions/checkout#usage) Action step.
 
+If you create a personal access token (classic), apply the `repo` and `workflow` scopes.
+If you create a fine-grained personal access token, apply the `Contents`-permissions.
+
 ```yaml
 - uses: actions/checkout@v4
   with:
-    token: ${{ secrets.PAT }}
+    # We pass the "PAT" secret to the checkout action; if no PAT secret is available to the workflow runner (eg. Dependabot) we fall back to the default "GITHUB_TOKEN".
+    token: ${{ secrets.PAT || secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
 ```
 You can learn more about Personal Access Token in the [GitHub documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token).
 
+
 > [!TIP] 
 > If you're working in an organisation, and you don't want to create the PAT from your personal account, we recommend using a bot-account for such tokens.
 
 If you go the "force pushes" route, you have to enable force pushes to a protected branch (see [documentation](https://help.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/enabling-force-pushes-to-a-protected-branch)) and update your Workflow to use force push like this.
