Can't get the github template to run a build
I followed the guide to make my own template from typeractives github page, but nothing i do will get it to build. i made sure my pat token is authorised to trigger workflow actions, tried in on the default repo with no changes, and even tried manually triggering it directly from github, but nothing happens

It sounds like you're having trouble getting the GitHub Actions workflow to trigger for your ZMK firmware build. Here are some steps to troubleshoot the issue:
1. Check Repository Settings: Ensure that GitHub Actions is enabled for your repository. Go to the "Settings" tab of your repository, then navigate to "Actions" and confirm that actions are allowed.
2. Verify Workflow File: Make sure that your workflow YAML file is correctly set up in the
.github/workflows directory. It should be named appropriately (e.g., build.yml) and follow the correct syntax.
3. Check for Errors in the Workflow File: Look for any syntax errors or misconfigurations in your workflow file. You can validate the YAML syntax using online YAML validators.
4. Check GitHub Actions Logs: If you have previously attempted to run the workflow, check the "Actions" tab in your repository to see if there are any logs or error messages from previous runs that could provide insight.
5. Personal Access Token (PAT): Ensure that your PAT has the correct scopes. It should have at least the repo and workflow scopes to trigger workflows.
6. Manual Trigger: If you're trying to manually trigger the workflow, ensure that your workflow file includes the workflow_dispatch event in its triggers. This allows you to manually start the workflow from the Actions tab.
7. Check for Branch Protection Rules: If you have branch protection rules set up, ensure that they are not preventing the workflow from running.
8. Consult Documentation: Review the ZMK documentation for any specific requirements or configurations that may be needed for the build process.
If you've gone through these steps and are still having issues, consider checking the GitHub community forums or the ZMK community for additional support.When i run the workflow from the actions page, it just says "workflow run was successfully requested". But there are no logs
Did you connect it to your ZMK repo successfully?
Sorry, connect the Keymap tool
as in, does the keymap in the repo load into the nick coutsos keymap editor? if so, yes it loads without issue
