▶ STEP 1: Checking GitHub CLI Installation
✓ GitHub CLI is installed
✓ jq is installed
▶ STEP 2: Getting GitHub Username

But, files claude_code_login.yml and claude_code.yml were not added to the repo workflow. When instead using the workflow file from: .github/workflows/claude-oauth.yml, I get

Claude Max or Pro is required to connect to Claude Code
Sign up for a Max or Pro subscription to connect your account, or use your API key.

So it is not possible to use Claude Code free through GitHub?
