GitHub Token Setup Guide

Generate Token

1. Go to GitHub Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Tokens (classic)
2. Click “Generate new token”
3. Select repo scope
4. Generate and copy the token (you won’t see it again)

Use Token

When Git asks for password, use the token instead:

Username: your-github-username
Password: your-token-here

Save Credentials (Optional)

To avoid entering credentials every time:

# Store permanently
git config --global credential.helper store
 
# OR cache temporarily (15 minutes)
git config --global credential.helper cache

Security Tips

• Never share your token
• Don’t commit it to repositories
• Delete unused tokens from GitHub settings
