Are there plans to support uploads without github actions?

I would be interested in it if it didn't require github and github-specific configuations like github action workflows.

Yeah, thanks. We only support GitHub Actions because of the authentication model it offer with JWTs. We're planning on expanding to support other forges, and eventually local publishing, too.

In the meantime, you could use a GitHub action to clone your repository from another forge and publish it, if you wanted to.

I see, so to confirm, I could have the workflow in a seperate repo than the repo I'm publishing? That would solve my concerns.

I see in your docs that there is a repository config option, so that could work. If directory works with a submodule or repo pulled in previous job, that could also be an option. I'll give it a try later.

Yep, that should work! Give it a try and let us know how it goes. Come join us on Discord, we'd be glad to chat about it.

Just want to put in a request for SourceHut support in case it's not already on your list. Sometimes it gets overlooked in favor of the big corporate forges.

Thanks for sharing! We'll take a look. If nothing else, I'm sure you'll be able to publish using a CLI + token. Thanks!
