GITHUB_REPOSITORY does not do what I expected

Open WhiteBlackGoose opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Hello. I might have misunderstood the docs, but I expected

env:
   GITHUB_REPOSITORY: my_org/my_other_repo

to push the release into that repository ; instead, it created the release in the current one.

How to create a release into a specified repository?

this is not expected. The feature was contributed by a third party developer. I'll have to tag a closer look

It would be nice to have it more obvious that that feature does. Also, please, add a way to push a release to another repo. For now I will stay on GH CLI because I didn't find the way to do it with your action.

I agree. I plan on starting to introduce some stricter guidelines on 3rd party contributions. I have to weigh those against the ability for developers to easily fill in on areas that others have needs where I don’t myself

Any update on this?
