GITHUB_TOKEN

[stephanepx]

Hi guys!

I was wondering how some workflow files can use GITHUB_TOKEN in secrets if we don't set it.

For example in lint-ts.yml file, line 39, we have this : github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
And in line 11 we have this comment : "🚨 GITHUB SECRETS REQUIRED: NONE"

I don't understand how this workflow will access this secret.

Thanks!

Hey @stephanepx, normally GitHub automatically creates a unique GITHUB_TOKEN secret for each workflow. This token works as expected for most workflows, but sometimes the permissions are insufficient for writing and tag creation. That's why, for example, we require a custom GitHub token for app release

Any way you can read more here
