Upgrade helper is broken

[chrisglein]

rnw-diff seems to be broken in the moment. Also we should find a new more appropriate home for that repo.

Current command is this:

npx --yes react-native init "RnDiffApp" --template [email protected] --skip-git-init

Needs a new command. Try this:

npx @react-native-community/cli init testrnx --version 0.74.6 --skip-install --install-pods false --verbose --skip-git-init true

Discussed in #14125

Hello, I wanted to update my react-native-windows project from 0.75.7 to 0.76.1 version. As the update is big I checked the upgrade helper (https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper) but the last visible version there is 0.74.22.

I've checked the source code of that project and it looks like in the background it use https://github.com/acoates-ms/rnw-diff repository to get the diff for all versions, but github actions in this repository are broken since March 2024 and the last update of RELEASES is from October 2024.

Is there any chance to fix that?

Fixed it so that its running successfully again. Should this track moving the repo to a more appropriate home? Or should we have another issue for that?

@acoates-ms Hello, thank you for fixing this issue. I see that github actions are running once per day for one release tag of react-native-windows, so it will take around 3 weeks until upgrade helper will have latest version diff information. Is is possible to run that github action manually to reach the last release?
