Cannot push to protected branch

[guilhermejcgois]

We're having trouble to push back the commit generated by version executor due to our rules configured to protect the main branch. I have dig in the last two days but doesn't found a way to make this work without removing the protection. Does anyone face this same issue? We've another (not a nx workspace) project using semantic-release and works fine... Also, looking into semantic-release cli, they do some work on repo url to properly authenticate.

Our relevant targets config:

    "version": {
      "executor": "@jscutlery/semver:version",
      "options": {
        "preset": "conventional",
        "push": true,
        "postTargets": [
          "website:github"
        ]
      },
      "dependsOn": ["export"]
    },
    "github": {
      "executor": "@jscutlery/semver:github",
      "options": {
        "tag": "${tag}",
        "notes": "${notes}"
      }
    }

Hi,

did you find any solution or workaround for this issue?

Regards.

We still haven't found a solution yet... By now, we've removed the protection in the branch

That is a Github related issue I think. The approach here would be to create a bot user account for your organisation, then create a PAT for that bot account. In the repositories branch protection settings you can give the bot permission to push to a protected branch and then use the PAT as authentication in your Github workflow.
