🤖 AI Issue Assistant

Creating a Personal Access Token (PAT) for GitHub

1. Navigate to GitHub Token Generation

  • Go to GitHub Settings
  • Click on "Generate new token" in the Fine-grained tokens section

2. Token Configuration

Basic Setup

  • Give your token a descriptive name
  • Choose token expiration (recommended: 30 days)

Repository Access

  • Select Only select repositories for more granular control
  • Choose the specific repositories you want to manage

Required Permissions

For GAMA, you'll need the following repository permissions:

  1. Actions Permissions:

    • Read and write access to Actions
    • Allows triggering and reading workflow runs
  2. Metadata Permissions:

    • Read-only access to repository metadata
    • Enables basic repository information retrieval
  3. Contents Permissions:

    • Read-only access to repository contents
    • Required for workflow file inspection

3. Generate Token

  • Review permissions carefully
  • Click "Generate token"
  • Important: Copy the token immediately, as you won't see it again

4. Token Usage in GAMA

# In ~/.config/gama/config.yaml
github:
  token: <your_generated_token>

Security Best Practices

  • Use the most restrictive permissions possible
  • Set a short expiration time
  • Never share your token publicly
  • Regenerate tokens periodically

Troubleshooting

  • If token doesn't work, verify:
    1. Correct permissions are set
    2. Token hasn't expired
    3. Token is for correct GitHub account

Alternative Methods

  • Use GitHub CLI: gh auth token
  • Environment variable: GITHUB_TOKEN

Recommended Token Scope

✅ Minimal required permissions
✅ Limited to specific repositories
✅ Short expiration period
