My repo uses GITHUB_TOKEN but I get an error when doing a release. It happened in vega/ts-json-schema-generator#1513.

This usually because the GitHub token you're using doesn't have the correct permissions to the repo.

The token used with auto must have at least "write" permission to your repo (vega/ts-json-schema-generator (​[https://github.com/vega/ts-json-schema-generator​))](https://github.com/vega/ts-json-schema-generator%E2%80%8B))) to create releases and labels.

You can check the permission for you token by running "auto info".

Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

My GitHub actions contain the following

      - name: Create release
        run: npm run release
        env:
          NPM_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}
          NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

The token should have enough permissions, though.

I would expect either a more specific error and a link to https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/automatic-token-authentication that explains what to change. Also, there is a typo that I fixed in #2288
