When you use Github for your projects and projects that you are working on for your company, you need a personal access token. This personal access token allows you to do things like check the repository, create new issues and check pull requests. This blog will go over some of the steps that are involved in making a personal access token on Github.

How Can You Make A Personal Access Token on Github?

1. Access the GitHub account in the browser first.

2. Next, press your profile picture in the upper-right corner of whatever page, after which Settings.

3. Select Developer settings from the left sidebar.

4. Personal access tokens are available in the left sidebar. Personal access tokens can be found by clicking Personal access tokens.
