I'm using electron-builder with detectUpdateChannel = true, generateUpdatesFilesForAllChannels = true, and publish.provider = "github", and it will not set the channel based on the version (e.g. 1.2.3-beta.4 in my package.json. All builds wind up creating a latest.yml file.

electron-builder does emit the channel-specific yaml if I set publish.channel explicitly.

It seems the logic to do this is typically in SomePublisherClass.checkAndResolveOptions¹ but GitHubPublisher has no such function, instead doing all options logic in the constructor².
