For the future users with this problem.

There is a problem with your very own fork of winget-pkgs.

How to fix

• Go to your profile on GitHub web page
• Go to your repositories
• Find there winget-pkgs repo
• Press the sync fork button there
  

from winget-create.

Cheers! That was the key. I deleted my rednoah/winget-pkgs (can't remember forking it in the first place) and now it works. Thank you very much for the help. Checking for forks in my accounts would never have occured to me.

If the fork doesn't exist, wingetcreate will automatically re-create it, since the fork is needed to generate a PR. If you check, you'll see you now have a new version of the fork

@rednoah - It looks like you're more than 90,000 commits behind master on https://github.com/rednoah/winget-pkgs. Merging in the latest commits from microsoft/winget-pkgs should resolve the issue.

Edit: I see you have some changes to your master branch that would prevent a clean merge commit; It looks like those changes are already part of microsoft/winget-pkgs, so you might have to revert those commits in order to get the merge to work

For the future users:

* Go to **your profile** on GitHub web page

* Go to your repositories

* Find there `winget-pkgs` repo

* Press the `sync fork` button there

That's certainly an option if you're doing things manually but may not be the most suitable option if you're automating the releases in a CI/CD pipeline. You can sync the repo using gh CLI if you're using wingetcreate in a CI environment, I'll link a couple of examples:

• https://github.com/microsoft/devhome/blob/main/.github/workflows/winget-submission.yml#L9-L15
• https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/817cc78b948216a1ec005a352cf0301b4510092c/.github/workflows/release.yaml#L410-L414
