Personal access tokens (PATs) are an alternative to using passwords for authentication to {% data variables.product.product_name %} when using the [GitHub API](/rest/overview/other-authentication-methods#via-oauth-and-personal-access-tokens) or the [command line](#using-a-token-on-the-command-line).
|
|
|
|
{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" %}If you want to use a PAT to access resources owned by an organization that uses SAML SSO, you must authorize the PAT. For more information, see "[About authentication with SAML single sign-on](/github/authenticating-to-github/about-authentication-with-saml-single-sign-on)" and "[Authorizing a personal access token for use with SAML single sign-on](/github/authenticating-to-github/authorizing-a-personal-access-token-for-use-with-saml-single-sign-on)."{% endif %}

### Creating a token
|
|
|
|
{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" %}1. [Verify your email address](/github/getting-started-with-github/verifying-your-email-address), if it hasn't been verified yet.{% endif %}
|
|
{% data reusables.user_settings.access_settings %}
|
|
{% data reusables.user_settings.developer_settings %}
|
|
{% data reusables.user_settings.personal_access_tokens %}
|
|
4. Click **Generate new token**. 
|
|
5. Give your token a descriptive name. 
|
|
6. 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**.
|
|
{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" or enterpriseServerVersions contains currentVersion %}
|
|
|
|
{% elsif currentVersion == "github-ae@latest" %}
|
|
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
7. Click **Generate token**. 
|
|
8. Click
|
|
{% octicon "clippy" aria-label="The copy to clipboard icon" %} to copy the token to your clipboard. For security reasons, after you navigate off the page, you will not be able to see the token again.
|
|
{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" %}
|
|
|
|
{% elsif currentVersion ver_gt "enterprise-server@3.1" or currentVersion == "github-ae@next" %}
|
|
|
|
{% else %}
|
|
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
{% warning %}
|
|
|
|
**Warning:** Treat your tokens like passwords and keep them secret. When working with the API, use tokens as environment variables instead of hardcoding them into your programs.
|
|
|
|
{% endwarning %}
|
|
|
|
{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" %}9. To use your token to authenticate to an organization that uses SAML SSO, [authorize the token for use with a SAML single-sign-on organization](/github/authenticating-to-github/authorizing-a-personal-access-token-for-use-with-saml-single-sign-on).{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
### Using a token on the command line
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.command_line.providing-token-as-password %}
|
|
|
|
Personal access tokens can only be used for HTTPS Git operations. If your repository uses an SSH remote URL, you will need to [switch the remote from SSH to HTTPS](/github/getting-started-with-github/managing-remote-repositories/#switching-remote-urls-from-ssh-to-https).
|
|
|
|
If you are not prompted for your username and password, your credentials may be cached on your computer. You can [update your credentials in the Keychain](/github/getting-started-with-github/updating-credentials-from-the-macos-keychain) to replace your old password with the token.
