 ## `token`
 
 [Generate a personal access token](https://github.com/settings/tokens), with the `repo:public_repo` scope for only public repositories or the `repo` scope for public and private repositories, and add it to _Secrets_ (repository settings) as `RENOVATE_TOKEN`. You can also create a token without a specific scope, which gives read-only access to public repositories, for testing. This token is only used by Renovate, see the [token configuration](https://docs.renovatebot.com/self-hosted-configuration/#token), and gives it access to the repositories. The name of the secret can be anything as long as it matches the argument given to the `token` option.
 
 Note that the [`GITHUB_TOKEN`](https://help.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/authenticating-with-the-github_token#permissions-for-the-github_token) secret can't be used for authenticating Renovate.

 ## Example
 
 This example uses a personal access token and will run every 15 minutes. The personal access token is configured as a GitHub secret named `RENOVATE_TOKEN`. This example uses the [`example/config.js`](./example/config.js) file as configuration.
