How to set GITHUB_TOKEN?

See original GitHub issue

I’m confused as to how to pass the GITHUB_TOKEN to your action. Is it as simple as adding a new Personal access token to settings -> tokens -> Personal access tokens to my GitHub account? ^^

Hi @Glusk2 ✋, thanks for opening an issue!

The GITHUB_TOKEN is provided by GitHub itself. You don’t have to do anything. 👍

For other tokens, for example, to some app, you would provide it using Personal access tokens.

For more information, read https://help.github.com/en/github/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/virtual-environments-for-github-actions#creating-and-using-secrets-encrypted-variables

@tenhobi @koppor I think that link should be added to the README file but I’m not quite sure where to put it. 😃

Perhaps as a side note under the Inputs table?
