… tokens (#10710) ## Why #10594 transitioned the publish pipeline from a static PAT (`azuresdk-github-pat`) to a GitHub App installation token minted via `eng/common/scripts/login-to-github.ps1`. The token is then passed into `Submit-AzureSdkForNetPr.ps1` as `-AuthToken '$(GH_TOKEN)'`. The script builds the push URL like this: ```powershell $remoteUrl = "https://$AuthToken@github.com/$RepoOwner/$RepoName.git" git push $remoteUrl $PRBranch ``` That bare-token form works with classic PATs (GitHub accepts username=PAT, empty password) but **fails with GitHub App installation tokens** (`ghs_*`). git treats the token as the username and prompts for a password, producing the failure observed in the latest pipeline run: ``` fatal: could not read Password for 'https://***@github.com': terminal prompts disabled ``` ## Fix Use the `x-access-token` username scheme, which is the documented form that works for **both** classic PATs and GitHub App installation tokens: ```powershell $remoteUrl = "https://x-access-token:$AuthToken@github.com/$RepoOwner/$RepoName.git" ``` One-line change. No behavior difference for the previous PAT path. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
