How do you setup Sampler to hook into Github?

I've gotten as far as generating a SimpleModule - and using ./build.ps1 -ResolveDependency.

I am having trouble understanding where I should go to look for next steps.

Is there a resource that explains this process that I am missing?

I've reviewed all of the Youtube Demos of Sampler, but I haven't seen any implementation guidance for using Sampler.GithubTasks.

The help documentation mentions: ./build.ps1 -Tasks Publish_release_to_GitHub, running this line results in the Task being displayed as "Skipped".

After reviewing the Youtube Demos from PSConfEU I was able to see that some configuration lines in the YAML are applicable, but I can find no supporting documentation that indicates which configuration parameters are available.

Additionally, the SimpleModule as a Module type does not generate these parameters in the Build.yaml, but dssccomminity does even when selecting Github as a vcs when initializing as a SimpleModule.

Filling out this information does not have an affect on the Task running.

I looked through New-Release.GitHub.build.ps1 and I can find no documentation in the comments that would indicate what is required to have this Task resolve successfully.

There is also an indicator that the build Task relies on an ENV variable, but it doesn't define what it should be.

I also found: https://dsccommunity.org/blog/updating-sampler-github-tasks/ through a Google search which indicates there was a recent change to using PowershelForGithub as the interface for Github.

If Sampler is using PowershellForGithub, the apparent configuration for associating a PAT is handled by the Module PowershellForGithub via Set-GithubConfiguration. The module the handles then management of secrets internally, as opposed to an env variable, or at least I can find no indication that it associates a Token with an env as a result of Set-GithubConfiguration.

PowershellFotGithub also indicates that you are able to pass at token in as a plain-text value via PSDefaultParameters, both methods however are seemingly inoperable with how New-Release.GitHub.build.ps1 expects the token to be passed.

The migration to the MS module from whatever inbuilt might explain this, but I wanted to point out the discrepancy.

I might be missing something though I'm learning 10 new thing at once ha.
