Instructions for making a PAT #247

Closed dragonforge-dev closed 4 months ago

dragonforge-dev commented 4 months ago

I found the creation of a PAT a little time-consuming research-wise, so I thought I'd provide step-by-step instructions for you to add to the installation document.

  1. Click your profile photo, and select Settings (near the bottom).
  2. In the left sidebar click <> Developer Settings. (It’s the last option.)
  3. On the next page, in the left sidebar, click Personal access tokens.
  4. Click Fine-grained token.
  5. Click Generate new token.
  6. Name it something..
  7. Set the Expiration for as long as you like. (We don’t recommend over 90 days).
  8. Make a note to yourself in the Description field. (We suggest, “Using the Godot GitHub plugin.”)
  9. Under Repository access, select Only select repositories.
  10. Click the Select Repositories dropdown button that just appeared, and select your repo(s). (You can add as many as you like.)
  11. Under Permissions open up Repository permissions. Scroll down to Contents and select Read and Write from the dropdown.
  12. Scroll to the bottom and click the Generate token button.
  13. Copy your token and store it somewhere. (You will need it every time you restart Godot.) You cannot come back to Git to see what it is later, and will have to make a new one if you lose this one.
