fix(release): set GH_REPO so upload-release-assets can find the repo by amondnet · Pull Request #48 · pleaseai/code-search

amondnet · 2026-06-22T12:42:07Z

Problem

The v0.1.2 release run built all 6 targets successfully (including the musl target via cargo-zigbuild — the prior blocker is fixed 🎉), but upload-release-assets failed:

$ gh release upload "$RELEASE_TAG" release/* --clobber
failed to run git: fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

This job downloads the build artifacts but never checks out the repo, so gh had no local .git to infer the target repository from. publish-npm and update-homebrew-formula then failed downstream — no assets reached the release, so the npm generator and the Homebrew checksum download had nothing to fetch (the resilience always() correctly let them run and fail loudly rather than silently skip).

This was latent: upload-release-assets had never actually run before (v0.1.0/v0.1.1 failed earlier in the matrix), so this is the first run to reach it.

Fix

Set GH_REPO: ${{ github.repository }} on the upload step. gh reads GH_REPO as the default repo, so it resolves the target without a checkout — mirroring how publish-npm already passes --repo "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" to gh release download.

Recovery

npm Trusted Publishing (OIDC) and the Homebrew app-token job can only run inside the workflow, and the v0.1.2 release/tag already exists (so release-please won't re-trigger it). Merging this fix: cuts 0.1.3, which runs the full pipeline end-to-end with the upload fix. The empty v0.1.0/v0.1.1/v0.1.2 tags will be cleaned up after 0.1.3 publishes.

Test plan

YAML validated
All 6 builds already proven green on v0.1.2
0.1.3 run uploads assets + publishes to npm via OIDC + updates Homebrew

Summary by cubic

Set GH_REPO to ${{ github.repository }} in the release upload job so gh release upload can target the repo without a checkout. Fixes failed asset uploads and unblocks downstream publish-npm and Homebrew updates.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Chores
- Enhanced release workflow infrastructure to improve asset publishing reliability.

The v0.1.2 run built all 6 targets (zigbuild musl included) but upload-release-assets failed: 'gh release upload' ran 'fatal: not a git repository' because that job downloads artifacts without checking out the repo, so gh had no local .git to infer the target from. publish-npm and the Homebrew job then failed downstream because no assets reached the release (the resilience always() correctly let them run and fail loudly). Set GH_REPO=${{ github.repository }} so gh resolves the repo without a checkout — mirrors how publish-npm already passes --repo to gh release download.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The upload-release-assets job in .github/workflows/release-rust.yml gains an env block that sets GH_REPO to ${{ github.repository }}, and two inline comments are added to the run step noting that the job does not check out the repository and that GH_REPO must therefore be set explicitly.

Changes

Release Workflow: Explicit GH_REPO for upload-release-assets

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Set GH_REPO and clarify no-checkout context `.github/workflows/release-rust.yml`	Adds `GH_REPO: ${{ github.repository }}` to the job `env` block and inserts comments in the `run` step explaining the job has no repo checkout, requiring the explicit env var for `gh` to target the correct repository.

Poem

🐇 No checkout? No worry, I'll point the way!
A single env var keeps confusion at bay,
GH_REPO now whispers, "This repo, right here!"
The gh CLI hops on with nothing to fear.
Three little lines, yet the release runs clear! 🌟
