I couldn't find anything related neither could trace why this happens on powershell but not on git bash.

I am on Windows 10, python 3.9 and scriv 1.0.0, when running on git bash it works fine.

Interesting! Since it is failing when trying to create the release, I will guess that on git bash, you have credentials in a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable, but under Powershell you don't. Is that possible?

Yep that's exactly what was happening, I ran gci env:* | sort-object name and github token wasn't there, then I closed powershell and open again, then ran the command again, poof, github_token now shows and scriv github-release is working, thanks for the insight!

It seems that after changing system environments I should've restarted powershell, so it recognizes the new var.
