I'll have a look this weekend, can you leave that repo up so I have access to the logs and can fork it to test stuff locally?

[ale5000-git]

It is just a test repo, I will leave it for a while.

[ale5000-git]

But there is a problem, I have previously set 3 days for log retention. I have now changed to 30 days but I'm not sure if it apply to previous logs; so it is possible that they will disappear soon.

I can reproduce this in a clone of your repo, but I don't understand why it happens. When running the action locally, trying to create the reference even returns a 404 not found, but only for v1 and v0; v2 and latest work fine.

[bewuethr]

When using a personal access token with repo scope instead of the standard GITHUB_TOKEN, the workflow running online now also gets

gh: Not Found (HTTP 404)
{
  "message": "Not Found",
  "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/git#create-a-reference"
}

I'm afraid I seem to be unable to understand why this happens.

It's been a while 😅 Was this per chance caused by missing write permissions for the GITHUB_TOKEN? The example in the README has just been updated to show how to set them.
