[Bug]

[SebatjaUwU]

Summary

GitHub Actions are not being generated correctly in the repository.
I expected the workflows to be created automatically when starting the exercise, but instead I see errors (exit code 128 and URL returned error: 500).

How to reproduce

1. Go to the repository SebatjaUwU/skills-getting-started-with-github-copilot.
2. Click on Start Exercise.
3. Wait for the workflows to be created.
4. Check the Actions tab and see the error.

Expected behavior

The GitHub Skills workflows should be generated and executed without errors, allowing me to continue the course.

Actual behavior

The process fails with:

• The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 128
• unable to access 'https://github.com/...': The requested URL returned error: 500

Screenshots

Additional context

This issue occurs when trying to start the Getting started with GitHub Copilot course.
The error seems related to accessing the support repository (skills/exercise-toolkit), which prevents the required Actions from being created.

Hey @SebatjaUwU

This is quite interesting! First time I am seeing this issue

Is this only a problem on skills/getting-started-with-github-copilot exercise or all the skills exercises?

[FidelusAleksander]

Could you please try starting the exercise again? These errors seem to me like maybe you've been unlucky and attempted to start the exercise when GitHub was experiencing internal issues.

Looking at https://www.githubstatus.com/history there was an incident around the timeframe where you were starting your exercise
