How to use Personal Access Tokens In GIT
Personal Access Tokens (PATs) provide a more secure way of accessing your repositories compared to using passwords.
Step 1: Generate a Personal Access Token
Go to your Git hosting service and generate a PAT. Make sure to select the appropriate scopes/permissions.
Step 2: Use the PAT Instead of a Password
When prompted for a password, use the PAT instead. For example, when cloning a repository via HTTPS:
git clone https://github.com/username/repository.git
Enter your username and when prompted for a password, use the PAT.
