December 3, 2023 ยท View on GitHub

  1. Login to your GitHub account and navigate to the following page.
  2. Click on the generate new token button and start the process to get a new token (classic or fine-gained)

    • In the classic mode your token needs as a minimum requirement for private repositories, complete repo and admin read:org access. PAT Private Repo

    • In the classic mode and you want to use it on public repositories, your token needs public_repo access. PAT Public Repo

    • If you want to use a fine-gained token as minimum requirement, your token needs access to the repository, contents read/write, metadata read and actions read access. PAT Fine Gained

  3. Be aware, if you want to update GitHub workflow files, it's necessary that your token got workflow rights (read/write on fine-gained tokens).
