Github works with Personal Access tokens. In most cases, you don’t want to use your main account to get access to the API. Therefore, Github recommends to create a bot account.
Creating a bot account is exactly the same as creating a normal account on Github. Head over to the Sign up page and create an account. We’ll use this account to generate a personal access token. You can either create the repositories on this account, or give the bot account access to an existing repository.
Follow the steps in the link below to generate a personal access token:
https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token
Done! Make sure to store or copy this access token in a safe place.
