Creation of a personal access token

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.

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

   • 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.

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).
