Problem
The current token documentation...
Tokens
For all actions, the tool will ask you to input a GitHub token. To obtain this token:
- Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens
- Click "Generate New Token"
- Check on
repo
- Copy/paste the token provided when the tool asks for it.
...may be outdated.
When going to set up a token, GitHub currently offers a new token generation tool, distinguishing one as (Classic).
This is probably the instructions set noted above.
The non-Classic generate tool offers more granular control over token permissions.
Proposed resolution
Provide updated instructions to acquire the correct permissions for the token.
Additional notes
Using the non-Classical generate tool, I experienced the following error:
