release: update homebrew deployment #1386
Conversation
Update `release-homebrew` workflow to use the `brew bump-cask-pr` command [1]. This aligns with the Homebrew project's official recommendations for creating PRs in the `Homebrew/homebrew-cask` tap and removes GCM's dependency on the `mjcheetham/update-homebrew` task [2]. 1: https://docs.brew.sh/How-To-Open-a-Homebrew-Pull-Request#submit-a-new-version-of-an-existing-cask 2: https://github.com/mjcheetham/update-homebrew

What permissions does this token require? Looks like it acts similarly to the old task (but works!) in that it'll create a fork, a branch in the fork, and the PR back to homebrew/cask.
This creates a personal remote repository that you can push to. This is needed because only Hombrew maintainers have push access to the main repositories.

Yep, that's correct! Also, if the fork already exists, it just creates a new branch and the PR. Token-wise I made no changes, just used the one I'd already created for testing GCM's release workflows in my fork (which has the same permissions as the one in the main repo).

Perfect. Just something to bear in mind the next time someone updates this token after expiration that it'll be their identity that the fork is created in.
