Setup instruction do not work no more

[DanielOberlechner]

Hi,
I tried to set this whole thing up like the instruction from this repository,
but I can't copy my personal token to access all my repos into my personal repos secret because it looks like this:
ghp_veGrXJU3456yhgfKQux45tfgcdiiI0u4rfdsn

I changed this one over here so that no one is able to to something with it.
I get the error, that the secret cannot contain _ sign. Only [0-9][a-z][A-Z] is allowed.

Any hints on how I can go further with this problem?

By the way now the menu and options from github look completely different as the ones in your guidance.

Kind regards,
Daniel Oberlechner :)

Hello 👋

I get the error, that the secret cannot contain _ sign. Only [0-9][a-z][A-Z] is allowed.

Can you tell us on which page you're having this error or send us a screenshot?

On repository secrets page you should be able to use underscores in both name and value. AFAIK the only restriction is that your secret cannot start with "GITHUB" because it's reserved for internal use:

On the token page, secrets supports underscores too:

it looks like this: ghp_veGrXJU3456yhgfKQux45tfgcdiiI0u4rfdsn

Yes this the new format of tokens but should work anyway regardless of what is contained within

By the way now the menu and options from github look completely different as the ones in your guidance.

There's slight changes (mainly a few additional sections, and for the token page there's indeed the expiration feature that didn't exist at the time of writing, but I think it not too far from current design (except the colors depending on theming used of course 🙂))

Thanks a lot 🙂

Hey @lowlighter,
the whole thing here by me looks like this like in the photos above.
Am I doing everything right, or am I maybe in the wrong category, repository or whatelse?

I think I tried to do everything like in the instructions.
Thank you for your help,
kind regards,
Daniel Oberlechner :)

EDIT:
I tried now to enter 3 different times the token with slight changes, but now the original token got accepted O-O
I have no idea why it now worked and before not, I did really not change anything.
Like you can see in the screen, my token is slightly different in the end, I changed it for this photo but there it didn't work for what reason!
I try now to follow further the instructions!

I think it's just that you named your secret "Personal token", and spaces are not allowed in name it seems.

Try "Personal_token" instead 🙂

[DanielOberlechner]

Found the problem, I cannot use whitespaces for the name, if I do it won't save the token.
Sorry for harassing you but the issue was not right clear to me because the instructions look a bit outdated.
Thank you for your help,
kind regards,
Daniel Oberlechner :)
