Troubleshooting

semantic-release

semantic-release breaks when branch protection is applied

Applying branch protection to the main or master branch can break semantic-release in our auto-release GitHub workflows by preventing the library from pushing changes to the protected branch.

This can be fixed by following these instructions: https://github.com/semantic-release/github/issues/175#issuecomment-757448750

Two things I needed to change to make treetracker-admin-client work were:

1. Pass persist-credentials: false to actions/checkout@v2 as a with: value

2. Create a personal access token and assign it to a repo secret named GH_TOKEN that is passed to the semantic-release env.
