⚠️ Currently broken due to defunkt Basic Auth APIs

[gr2m]

semantic-release-cli is currently not working, as it utilizes basic auth for authentication, which is no longer supported by GitHub.

Until we resolve this issue by implementing a OAuth web flow, this is what my usual release GitHub action looks like:
https://github.com/octokit/core.js/blob/master/.github/workflows/release.yml

You don't need to configure the GITHUB_TOKEN, it's already provided. Unless you have actions triggered by the release event, in which case you need to use a personal access token, because actions don't trigger actions.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions

For anyone else seeing this - I messed around with this for a good 30 minutes. You'll need to run semantic-release, not semantic-release-cli setup. Do semantic-release --gh-token=yourtoken (add npm token if needed - mine was already set in npmrc).

Any update?

Could we use a workaround of asking for the user to supply the github token instead of the username and password to bridge the gap similar to how the app asks for the Circle CI token?

[gr2m]

Yeah that would be good for the time being. PR welcome

@gr2m - Please let me know if it looks off.
