Select Personal Access Tokens, and then select Create token.

In the Token Name* field, enter name of your token.
Enter expire date for your token if needed, and then select Create.

Copy your token, and then select Close.

Before closing the window, make sure to copy your token and store it in a secure place. You won’t be able to see your token once you select Close.
