[feature-request] Create a GH release in a foreign repository

[kittaakos]

I would like to use this action to create a GH release in a foreign repository. I have access to the foreign repository. I do not know if it's possible to achieve it with GH Actions in general, but I thought it worth a feature request.

Use case:

• There is a private GH repo that hosts the source code. GH Actions workflows are configured in the private repository.
• There is a public repository where the users can log issues and can download the releases. They do not (yet) see the source code.

Current workflow:

• GH Actions is used to create the GH releases in the private repository.
• The corresponding GH release has to be created manually in the public repo and the artifacts have to be upload.

I would like to create a GH release in the public repo from a workflow triggered by the private repository.

For example, the GitHub Release task can do this on Azure. Would it be possible to achieve something with this action? There is a repositoryName property, that defaults to the current repo.

The config would be something like this:

  - name: Publish Release [GitHub]
    uses: svenstaro/upload-release-action@v1-release
    with:
      repo_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      repository_name: owner/foreign-repository-name
      file: dist/*
      tag: ${{ github.ref }}
      file_glob: true

Thank you for this great action!
