Description

With a gitops approach, it is common to have a an application repo and a separate gitops repo.

It would be very helpful if I could use this plugin in the common way (update and commit release related files in the current repo), but also push some files (e.g. an updated helm values.yaml file) to another repo.

would that be possible today?
If not, would the maintainers see this in scope for the current plugin, or would it better be part of a separate, new plugin?

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the plugin currently updates and commits release-related files in the current repository, then compare that with the requested gitops repository and helm values.yaml flow. Done would require an agreed scope and an implementation path for pushing selected files to another repository.
