Private repo to public repo release

[developerautomationkit]

Seeing that you are hard at work again . I wanted to ask if you know by chance how to configure electron builder + github actions for pushing to a Private repo to public repo release in github actions ?

Iam using older version of you template and just wondered if you have any idea by chance what could be wrong

this is a issue i created couple days ago : Just cant figure out why electron builder does not seem to work with Custom Personal Accces token ? Any thoughts on how you would aproach this release on Private repo to public repo release ? Greetings

	env:
	GH_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}

to my knowledge the github.token is restricted to the current repo ?
Is that not the case ? any experience regarding having to use Personal acces token PAT ?

I feel like this is a very common usecase having a private repo and releasing to a public one . But for the love of god cant figure out why the github actions doesnt work with electron builder PAT :D

But I guess your github create aproach may work with pat .. gotta try that

Currently I don't use electron builder for publishing. I use gh cli instead to have for control. And I believe you can authorise it and create release in one repo from another. Just ensure you provide correct credentials with enough permission in credentials and workflow
