Code Review
This pull request updates the GitHub Actions for creating pull requests and publishing releases by explicitly setting the git remote URL with a GitHub token. However, the review identified significant security concerns regarding the persistence of plain-text credentials in the local git configuration and the risk of command injection. It is recommended to use gh auth setup-git instead to securely manage authentication without storing tokens on disk.

Code Review
This pull request updates the GitHub Actions for creating pull requests and publishing releases by configuring the Git remote URL with an access token. However, the review feedback identifies a security risk where using git remote set-url persists credentials in the .git/config file on disk. It is recommended to either pass the authenticated URL directly to specific Git commands or use the GitHub CLI as a credential helper to maintain security hardening and avoid credential leakage.

Summary
This PR fixes a critical CI failure where release workflows were failing to authenticate with GitHub during
git pushoperations.Details
The issue was introduced in #26897, which added
persist-credentials: falseto various workflows. This preventsactions/checkoutfrom storing the GitHub token in the local git configuration, causing subsequent steps to fail when attempting remote operations.By explicitly setting the remote URL to
https://x-access-token:${TOKEN}@github.com/${REPOSITORY}.git, we ensure that these operations remain authenticated without needing to revert the security hardening ofpersist-credentials: false.Related Issues
