Fails with missing GitHub token when --dry-run and --no-ci

See original GitHub issue

When running with --dry-run --no-ci I get this fatal error

The goal of --dry-run is to make sure the real run will work on your CI so we make the verification. The @semantic-release/github plugin requires a GH_TOKEN environment variable to be set and you don’t have one so it report that error.

Not sure why this is closed - The issue still persists, I’m not even using github anywhere - my repo is on BitBucket and I have a private registry, nowhere in my config I’m using this plugin but I keep getting
