description: >
Optional PAT / GitHub App installation token used to create the
release-please pull request and GitHub Release. Required when the
calling repository has "Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve
pull requests" disabled (Settings > Actions > General > Workflow
permissions) — the default GITHUB_TOKEN cannot open pull requests
in that case and release-please-action fails with:
"GitHub Actions is not permitted to create or approve pull
requests."
Falls back to the default GITHUB_TOKEN when unset, preserving
existing behavior for repos that already allow Actions to create
PRs.
