Creating Personal Access Token (PAT)

Step 1: Creating a Personal Access Token on GitHub

1. Log in to GitHub:

   Open your web browser and navigate to GitHub. Log in with your GitHub credentials.

2. Access Token Settings:

• Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner.
• Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
• In the left sidebar, click on "Developer settings."

3. Generate Token:

• In the "Access tokens" section, click on "Generate token."
• Provide a suitable name for your token.
• Select the scopes (permissions) needed for your use case. For general use, "repo" and "read:user" are often sufficient.
• Click "Generate token."

4. Copy Token:

• After generating the token, copy it to your clipboard immediately.
• Note: This token is displayed only once. Ensure you securely store it.

Step 2: Configuring the Token Locally

Now that you have generated your PAT, you'll need to configure it on your local machine.

1. Open your terminal:

• Open the terminal or command prompt on your computer.

2. Set Environment Variables:

• Run the following commands, replacing YOUR_TOKEN_HERE with the actual token you copied:

export LOCAL_GITHUB_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
export [email protected]

Alternatively, you can add these lines to your shell profile file (e.g., .bashrc, .zshrc, or .bash_profile) to make them persistent.

3. Verify Configuration:

• To verify that your environment variables are set correctly, you can echo them in the terminal:

echo $LOCAL_GITHUB_TOKEN
echo $LOCAL_GITHUB_USERNAME

You should see the values you set.
