# Prefer a short-lived token from the "Etherpad Release Bot" GitHub App:
# app credentials don't expire, unlike the ETHER_RELEASE_TOKEN PAT. Until
# the RELEASE_APP_ID variable is set this step is skipped and the PAT is
# used. The built-in GITHUB_TOKEN won't do: tags pushed with it don't
# trigger the Docker, .deb, snap and GitHub Release workflows.
