Nice write up!
I think ${{ secrets.ACCESS_TOKEN }} in your example can be replaced with ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}, which is a repo-scoped token automatically generated for you by GitHub. Did you try this?
${{ secrets.ACCESS_TOKEN }}
${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
Thanks!
I just tried it, but it didn't work. Also, I couldn't find the documentation about this auto generated token.
Hmmm. It’s documented here:
help.github.com/en/articles/virtua...
But maybe it doesn’t carry the right permissions for your use case. Did you get a permissions error?
When the Action try to push the changes, it pops this error in the logs:
fatal: could not read Password for 'https://***@github.com': No such device or address
That must be a permissions error. The personal access token that I generated before (ACCESS_TOKEN) had full control of my private repositories.
ACCESS_TOKEN
