How do I generate a Github Personal Access Token?

csvbase can provide read (and write) access to csv files stored in a git repo.

If your repository is private or if you want to be able to edit your data on csvbase, you will need to provide a "fine grained personal access token".

When generating a new token csvbase requires the following Repository permissions:

1. Contents - "Repository contents, commits, branches, downloads, releases, and merges."
   • Read & write allows csvbase to both read the repo, and write to it
2. Webhooks - "Manage the post-receive hooks for a repository."
   • Read & write allows csvbase to add webhooks (in the near future) to stay up to date instantly instead of having to periodically poll for changes
3. Metadata
   • Read-only is default and mandatory for all tokens. csvbase does not currently have any use for this permission.
