[garysassano]

Expected Behavior

Terraform plan to succeed.

Actual Behavior

  # github_repository.this["my-repo"] will be updated in-place
  ~ resource "github_repository" "this" {
        id                          = "my-repo"
        name                        = "my-repo"
        # (36 unchanged attributes hidden)

      + template {
          + include_all_branches = false
          + owner                = "foobar"
          + repository           = "repo-template"
        }
    }

Plan: 0 to add, 4 to change, 0 to destroy.

I have tried working aroudn this error with giving my Github app more permissions + trying an ignore_changes;

  lifecycle {
    ignore_changes = [
      pages
    ]
  }

Any other ideas? This is completely breaking.

[jurgenweber]

oh, yeah. So actually accepting the permissions upgrade for the app helps..... It now works as expected.

[garysassano]

What permission did you add?
