Need new method of creating orphan gh-pages

I was able to replicate your experience and dug into it. I eventually got desperate enough to emulate the key bits of what we're doing via gh with just with curl and also could not succeed. For my own notes, the first command silently fails, then second says that this commit is not found.
It appears that it is no longer possible to create a commit of the empty tree via the GitHub API and it's returning an extremely unhelpful 500 error. Here's an example of someone else who has also recently made this unpleasant discovery. action-badges/core#4 (comment) So |

And thanks for your support, as I've already received some help on this issue. I was told that the 500 errors were on the github side and likely intermittent but have been getting them now every time I try for a week, wondering if you know what I might do. Not sure how to make this reproducible but system info and error messages copied below:
