You probably want to change it from the default of 30 days, though Github will show a warning if you select “No Expiration.” It’s not terrible to have a permanent token, but you should likely be changing passwords and tokens at least every 6 months. Give the token a name, and select an expiration date.
To create an HTTP access token for a project or repository (requires project or repository admin permissions): From either the Project or Repository settings, select HTTP access tokens. You’ll need to verify your actual account password. HTTP access tokens can be created for teams to grant permissions at the project or repository level rather than for specific users. git commit -m 'adding a change from the feature branch' git push origin Click the Source page of your repository. Scroll down to “Developer Settings.” Select “Personal Access Tokens,” and generate a new one: Bitbucket will automatically show you the command needed, and it will look something like this: git fetch & git checkout Make your changes locally and then add, commit, and push your changes to the branch:git add. Setting up a PAT will require you to make a new one from Github’s settings, and swap your local repositories over to using them. Head over to your personal account settings to generate a new token. RELATED: How To Switch a Github Repository to SSH Authentication Making a New Personal Access Token Still, PATs are easy to set up and use, and do have more flexible permissions than SSH keys. You can also switch to SSH based authentication, which works pretty similarly to access tokens, except they’re tied to your machine and not transmitted anywhere. This token can also be used to access the Github API, but that isn’t necessary for most people’s usage. You can also choose to cache the token forever, so you don’t have to enter it in all the time. You use PATs exactly like passwords-instead of typing in your account password for git, you’ll enter the PAT.
