Unable to push assets to a gitlab protected branch about git HOT 1 OPEN

I also tried removing the GITLAB_TOKEN from the project variable and adding

before_script:
  - export GITLAB_TOKEN="$CI_JOB_TOKEN"
  - export GITLAB_URL="$CI_SERVER_URL"

unfortunately, the CI_JOB_TOKEN does not provide the ability to push code. see semantic-release/semantic-release#1729 for more discussion about that situation

Without the @semantic-release/git module it is working fine. The tag is created and pushed to the master branch. But it seems the module cannot push the assets to the master branch.

you need to verify the permissions you've granted to your token. you need to use a token that provides the appropriate level of access. it appears that the one you are using does not provide the ability to push code to a protected branch

from git.
