Document GitHub Personal Access Token usage
Document creation and minimum scopes required for GitHub PAT to use with GitReleaseManager.
I assigned following scopes, it works
-
repo:statusAccess commit status -
repo_deploymentAccess deployment status -
public_repo Access public repositories
Hmmm, I would be surprised if deployment was required. Are you on a position to confirm? Or did you need to add this before it would work?
public_repo is enough for public repositories. Not sure about private.
To create token navigate to https://github.com/settings/tokens/ (or Settings/Developer settings and select Personal access tokens)
Just tested with a private repo. If the parent section repo Full control of private repositories is not selected, it does not work.
Selecting "only" the listed authorizations below repo is not enough.
