Chapter 3. Creating a GitOps git token


In this procedure and the next one, you create two more values that you need in your ~/install_values.txt file to complete installation.

Prerequisites:

  • A GitHub account

Procedure:

  1. In your web browser, go to your Developer Settings page in GitHub.
  2. In the left panel, under Personal access tokens, select Tokens (classic).
  3. From the Generate new token drop down menu under the page banner, select Generate new token (classic). You may need to authenticate to continue.
  4. Enter a name, select an expiration date, and under Select scopes, select repo (which should automatically include all scopes from repo: status to security_events).
  5. Select Generate token. GitHub redirects you to a new page, where your token is visible. Make sure to label and save this token in ~/install_values.txt.
