      - name: Install Dependencies
        run: nimble install -d --accept
      - name: Build

      - name: update release
        id: update_release
        uses: tubone24/update_release@v1.0
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
        with:
          body: test_body # new body text
      - name: Upload Release Asset
        uses: actions/upload-release-asset@v1
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.github_token }}
        with:
          upload_url: ${{ steps.update_release.outputs.upload_url }}
          asset_path: ./bin/post_twitter_on_work${{ matrix.asset_name_suffix }}
          asset_name: post_twitter_on_work_${{ runner.os }}_${{ steps.get_version.outputs.VERSION }}${{ matrix.asset_name_suffix }}
          asset_content_type: ${{ matrix.asset_content_type }}

on-release-created is a event to create a release and you can get release id on the actions. Also changed body text.

This uses the GITHUB_TOKEN provided by the virtual environment, so no new token is needed.
