NOT running workflow when creating repository from Template?

Body

Hi

I have a template repository which I use to create new repositories by calling the Github API. The template repository contains a workflow file that triggers on: push

My problem is, I don't want the workflow to run on the initial "push" when the new repository is first created, as I have to create some vars and secrets in the new repository via the API, before the action file will execute successfully, but I can't figure out how to accomplish that....
