I tried saying the payload app can be removed from branch protection rules, but that still didn't work.
Are you creating this on your personal or a GitHub organization? Errors like these sometimes have to do with how your organization is configured.
It was on my organization which does have a no force push on main restriction. What i tried to do was let it fail once, then remove the restriction from the payloadcms github integration entity itself - but that didnt work.
So im debating disabling the entire no force push to main for the whole org - but wanted to try a couple other routes first
The alternative here is to just start a project locally using create-payload-app and creating the got repo manually. Then in Payload cloud, using the import existing repo option.
