ERELEASEBRANCHES The release branches are invalid in the branches configuration

[misha-erm]

Hello 👋🏻
I forked repo from github to gitlab and trying to setup CI there.

Unfortunately I'm facing issue similar to this #1112

Some things to note:

• When I change branches to trunk then I get different error (trying to publish from wrong branch). But when I change branches to any other branch then I get ERELEASEBRANCHES
• I don't have master. I use main as default branch.

UPDATE: As I can see it tries to access forked repository

➜ git remote -v
origin  git@gitlab.com:get1st/api-plugin-authorization-simple.git (fetch)
origin  git@gitlab.com:get1st/api-plugin-authorization-simple.git (push)

git branch -a
* main
  trunk
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/main
  remotes/origin/main
  remotes/origin/trunk

➜ npm run semantic-release -- -d --branches main                                                             14:56:46

Solved. My bad, repository field in package.json was pointing to the forked repo.

Things started to work after changing it to the correct one
