Limit GitHub App token permissions in workflows#215
Merged
Conversation
Request contents: write for all create-github-app-token call sites because the generated token is used for checkout and for writing repository refs. Also request pull-requests: write in the version bump workflows because the same token is passed to peter-evans/create-pull-request to open release PRs. The tag workflows only create or push Git tags, so contents: write is enough there.
