+## Limitation
+
+`GITHUB_TOKEN` permissions [are limited to the repository](https://help.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/authenticating-with-the-github_token#about-the-github_token-secret)
+that contains your workflow. 
+
+If you need to push the homebrew tap to another repository, you must therefore create a custom [Personal Access Token](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line/)
+with `repo` permissions and [add it as a secret in the repository](https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/creating-and-using-encrypted-secrets). If you create a 
+secret named `GH_PAT`, the step will look like this:
+
+```yaml
+      -
+        name: Run GoReleaser
+        uses: goreleaser/goreleaser-action@v1
+        with:
+          version: latest
+          args: release --rm-dist
+          key: ${{ secrets.YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY }}
+        env:
+          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GH_PAT }}
+```
+
+## Signing
 
 If signing is enabled in your GoReleaser configuration, populate the `key` input with your private key
 and reference the key in your signing configuration, e.g.
