The pain

The challenge of automating workflows across GitHub repositories due to cross-repo authentication and manual event triggering.

Who'd pay

Software development teams, DevOps engineers, and companies managing multiple repositories aiming to optimize their CI/CD pipelines.

Signal that triggered it

"In `.github/workflows/publish.yml`, after the existing `tag-and-release` step (and only when a new tag was actually created), add: 1. A token-generation step using `actions/create-github-app-token@v2` scoped to `standard-tooling-docker` so the dispatch can fire."

Phase 3 sender: dispatch standard-tooling-released event after release tag is created

Published: 4 hours ago

Repository: wphillipmoore/standard-tooling Author: wphillipmoore Phase 3 (sender half) of the host-level-tool implementation plan. The receiver landed in standard-tooling-docker and listens for repository_dispatch:[standard-tooling-released]. This issue is the missing sender. Implementation involves adding steps in GitHub Actions to generate a GitHub App token scoped to the target repo and POST a dispatch event with version and tag after a new release tag is created. Prerequisite: The GitHub App must be installed on the target repo for cross-repo token issuance. Acceptance criteria include confirming the docker-publish workflow triggers automatically and rebuilt images carry the new released version.
