+if you want to publish a release to another repository or from a different commit, you can configure the API token, API repository endpoint and commit sha for the generated filename like this:
+
+```yml
+with:
+  # can be used to specify a custom token, otherwise defaults to the auto
+  # generated token for the current GitHub Action context `${secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}`
+  token: ${secrets.MyCustomToken}
+  # used for checking for existing files by inserting into the filename (only
+  # the first 6 characters are used)
+  sha: 547fdf5
+  # this is where the API calls go to list asset files, must match the repo from
+  # the upload_url
+  repo: Pure-D/serve-d
