TL;DR

Set the GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable to resolve the "Missing environment variables" error.

Guidance

• The error messages indicate a missing GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable, which is required for the GitHub API to function correctly.
• To fix this, set the GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable before running the command.
• Verify that the token is valid and has the necessary permissions to access the GitHub API.
• If the issue persists, check the API request and response for any other errors or inconsistencies.

Example

export GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_token_here

Replace your_token_here with your actual GitHub personal access token.

Notes

• The provided error messages are truncated, so there may be additional issues or errors that are not immediately apparent.
• Ensure that the GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable is set correctly and securely, as it contains sensitive information.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Set the GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable to resolve the immediate issue, and then investigate any additional errors or inconsistencies that may be present.
