Repository navigation
gh repo sync fails with surprising error if workflow scope is missing and token is from GitHub App #10573
Description
Describe the bug
This is an extension of #7574 based on the comment that the previous fix doesn't work for GitHub App tokens.
Affected version
v2.68.1
Acceptance Criteria
Given I have a GitHub App token that is missing workflow scope
When I run gh repo sync where the upstream repo has workflow changes to be synced
Then I get an informative error rather than a 404.
