3. In the left sidebar, click Developer settings.

4. In the left sidebar, click Personal access tokens.

5. Click Generate new token.

6. Give your token a descriptive name.

7. Select the scopes, or permissions, you’d like to grant this token. To use your token to access repositories from the command line, select repo.
