Additional Comments

Protected branch:

[JamesIves]

You have a protected branch rule:

remote: error: GH006: Protected branch update failed for refs/heads/master.        
remote: error: Commits must have verified signatures. Changes must be made through a pull request.        
To https://github.com/Rollczi/LiteCommands.git
 ! [remote rejected] github-pages-deploy-action/n2xxarv10 -> master (protected branch hook declined)

You'd need to provide a personal access token from your user account with permissions to override that rule for that to work.

I added all permissions and nothing changed

[JamesIves]

I would suggest removing the branch protection rule for pull requests in that case unless you absolutely need it.

I have no branch protection rule but still get this error: https://github.com/zoj613/zarr-ml/actions/runs/9733172805/job/26859749656?pr=3

Any workarounds?

[JamesIves]

Looks like you need to add the appropriate permissions to the workflow:
