Main.workflow causes an error when publishing a new branch

See original GitHub issue

Description

I recently added a Github action to my repository, and attempted to retrieve it using the desktop client, and ended up with the following error:

Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
To https://github.com/JamesIves/reddit-viewer.git
 ! [remote rejected] doc-test -> doc-test (refusing to allow an integration to create main.workflow)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/JamesIves/reddit-viewer.git'

You can see the workflow here:

I attempted to remove main.workflow, but after committing it I get a similar error when pushing to master.
