I want to release the tag every time I push it.

[qkrdkwl9090]

Every time a tag is pushed with githubactions, I try to release it using semantic release

release.yml

name: Release
on:
  push:
    tags:
      - v**

 jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        node-version: [18.x]

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
        uses: actions/setup-node@v3

      - name: Pnpm setup
        uses: pnpm/action-setup@v2
        with:
          version: 8

      - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
        uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version  }}
          check-latest: true
          cache: "pnpm"

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: pnpm install --prod --frozen-lockfile

      - name: Semantic-release
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.RELEASE_GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        run: pnpm semantic-release --branches

release.config.js

module.exports = {
  branches: ["main"],
  plugins: [
    [
      "@semantic-release/release-notes-generator",
      {
        preset: "conventionalcommits",
        presetConfig: {
          types: [
            /**
             * @see
             * https://github.com/semantic-release/release-notes-generator
             * https://github.com/conventional-changelog/conventional-changelog-config-spec/blob/master/versions/2.0.0/README.md
             */
            { type: "feat", section: "✨ Features", hidden: false },
            { type: "fix", section: "🐛 Bug Fixes", hidden: false },
            { type: "docs", section: "📝 Docs", hidden: false },
            { type: "ui", section: "💅 UI", hidden: false },
            { type: "style", section: "💄 Styles", hidden: false },
            { type: "test", section: "✅ Tests", hidden: true },
            { type: "revert", section: "🕐 Reverts", hidden: false },
            { type: "refactor", section: "♻️ Refactor", hidden: false },
            { type: "perf", section: "🌈 Performance", hidden: false },
            { type: "chore", section: "📦 Chores", hidden: true },
            { type: "ci", section: "💫 CI/CD", hidden: false },
          ],
        },
      },
    ],
    [
      "@semantic-release/changelog",
      {
        changelogFile: "CHANGELOG.md",
        changelogTitle: "# 🚦 CHANGELOG",
      },
    ],
    [
      "@semantic-release/git",
      {
        assets: ["CHANGELOG.md"],
      },
    ],
    [
      "@semantic-release/github",
      {
        assets: [{ path: "CHANGELOG.md", label: "Changelog" }],
      },
    ],
  ],
};

But if I do this, it doesn't release

[12:40:06 AM] [semantic-release] › ✔ Loaded plugin "fail" from "@semantic-release/github"
[12:40:08 AM] [semantic-release] › ℹ This test run was triggered on the branch refs/tags/v2.6.3, while semantic-release is configured to only publish from main, therefore a new version won’t be published.

So I put "refs/tags/v**" in the branches and they said it was invalid branch.

What should I do...

Your use case is outside the scope of semantic-release. You already have a version tag name, you don't need semantic-release to calculate the version. Setup semantic-release to run on push to your default branch instead.
