How to copy releases from a fork or create one and upload assets with an existing action?

I want to copy the release from the original repo to this fork: https://github.com/QuadraAI/whichcam

But it seems like I cannot modify the "write" rights in the action settings even if I'm the owner of the main repository.

Do you guys have any idea on how I could do that, preferably not copying files one by one

Solution

  • You would have to use GitHub API for managing releases You will need two PAT tokens: one for the original repo and one for the fork. You could use GitHub CLI to simplify writing API requests in bash.
