Generating a GitHub Personal Access Token

To enable your Flutter CLI tool to upload and delete releases on GitHub, you'll need to generate a Personal Access Token (PAT) with the appropriate permissions. Follow the steps below to create and configure your token.

Steps to Generate a GitHub Token

1. Open the GitHub Token Generation Page:

   • Generate GitHub Token.

2. Set the Token Name:

   • In the Note field, enter a descriptive name for your token, such as Flutter Release X Token.

3. Select Scopes:

   • Under Select scopes, check the following permissions:
     • repo (Full control of private repositories)
       • This includes access to public and private repositories, which is required for uploading and deleting releases.

4. Generate the Token:

   • Click the Generate token button at the bottom of the page.
   • Copy the token immediately, as you won’t be able to see it again.

5. Set Up Your Project:

   github:
     enabled: true
     token: YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN
