Option 1: Create a Fine-Grained Token (Recommended)

Fine-grained tokens give you tighter control over permissions and access. Here’s how to set one up:

1. Go to GitHub Developer Settings

• Visit: https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens

2. Click “Generate new token”

• Choose “Fine-grained personal access token”
• Login if needed.

3. Add a Token Name & Expiry

• Give it a meaningful name like GitZoid Access
• Set an expiry (recommended), or mark no expiry.

4. Select Repositories

• Choose Only select repositories
• Pick the specific repos where GitZoid should review PRs

5. Set Permissions

Under “Repository permissions”, enable:

Permission	Access Level
Pull Requests	Read & Write ✅

Leave all other permissions as No Access

6. Generate & Copy the Token

• Hit Generate token
• Copy and store the token securely — GitHub will only show it once!

You can now paste this token into GitZoid to connect your GitHub account securely.

Option 2: Create a Classic Personal Access Token

If you prefer or need broader access, classic tokens are another option:

1. Go to Classic Token Settings

• Visit: https://github.com/settings/tokens
• Select “Personal access tokens (classic)”

2. Click “Generate new token”

• Choose “Generate new token (classic)”

3. Set Expiry & Permissions

• Give the token a name
• Set an expiry (recommended)
• Under scopes, select:
  • repo ✅ (for access to repos)
  • write:discussion ✅

Classic tokens give broader access, so use with caution and only if necessary.

4. Generate & Copy

• Click Generate token
• Copy the token and use it inside GitZoid
