[BUG]:

[pascalnaber]

Expected Behavior

When creating an internal repo, this works great.

But when creating an internal repo based on a template we get the following error:

Error: POST https://api.github.com/repos/xyz/xyz-template/generate: 403 You'll need a different OAuth scope to create a private repository. Please see the documentation for full details. []

The template is an internal repo as well.

The PAT used to execute this has all access rights that are possible.

Actual Behavior

When creating an internal repo based on a template. No exception should come up.
