[tibdex]

It's explained here:

autosquash/.github/workflows/autosquash.yml

Lines 30 to 36 in 982dbef

	- uses: tibdex/autosquash@v2

	# We can't use the built-in secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN yet because of this limitation:
	# https://github.community/t5/GitHub-Actions/Triggering-a-new-workflow-from-another-workflow/td-p/31676
	# In the meantime, use a personal access token with repo access.
	# See https://help.github.com/en/articles/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line
	github_token: ${{ secrets.AUTOSQUASH_TOKEN }}

It's a workaround until GitHub supports triggering a new workflow from another workflow run with GITHUB_TOKEN.

You should create a personal token with repo access and add it as a repo secret. The token name doesn't matter but it doesn't hurt to call it Autosquash so that your future self know what it's for. You can give a different name than AUTOSQUASH_TOKEN to the secret but then don't forget to change it too in your workflow file.

Adding on to this, it would be helpful if this was mentioned in the README, as well as which permission the token needs to have.
