How to connect your Github account with Village Labs.

Prerequisites

• A Github account with access to the repositories you wish to sync with Village Labs.

Generating the credentials

1. Go to your Github developer settings to create a new Personal Access Token https://github.com/settings/tokens

2. Create a new classic token

   

   Click "Generate new token (classic)"
3. Set the token Note to Village Access Token, and set the Expiration to No Expiration (note that this token can always be manually revoked in Github in future, but setting a custom expiration date will require this entire process to be re-run once the expiration date is hit).

5. Copy your token and store it in a secure place (like 1Password, LastPass or Bitwarden).
