Chapter 4. Creating a GitHub personal access token

To install the Fabric8 Launcher tool on a Single-node OpenShift Cluster, you must provide the Fabric8 Launcher tool with a GitHub personal access token. This enables the Fabric8 Launcher tool to create booster applications and save them as Git repositories in your GitHub namespace.

Procedure

  1. Using a web browser, navigate to https://github.com/settings/tokens.
  2. Select Generate new token.
  3. Add a token description, for example Fabric8 Launcher tool on a Single-node OpenShift Cluster.
  4. Select the check boxes of the following parent scopes and all their children:

    • public_repo
    • read:org
    • admin:repo_hook
  5. Click Generate token.
  6. Save the hex code of the personal access token. You need this to complete the installation of the Fabric8 Launcher tool on your Single-node OpenShift Cluster.

    Important

    This hex code is displayed only once and cannot be retrieved after you leave the page. If you lose the code, you will need to create a new personal access token to install the Fabric8 Launcher tool on a Single-node OpenShift Cluster again.
