# github:credentials:create

> Save a GitHub Personal Access Token under the user config.

Save a GitHub Personal Access Token for commands that interact with GitHub. The token is written as block-style YAML to `~/.talos/credentials/github.yml` under the `default` profile.

Create a Personal Access Token at [github.com/settings](https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens/new).

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
talos github:credentials:create [options]
```

## Examples

Run with no flags to be prompted for the token (input is hidden):

```bash theme={null}
talos github:credentials:create
```

Provide the token non-interactively:

```bash theme={null}
talos github:credentials:create --token=github_pat_xxxxxxxx
```
