Personal Access Token (PAT) Setup

In order to use github:unionlabs/union references such as when building bundle-testnet, you will need to configure a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) and tell Nix to use it.

Creating your PAT

This PAT only needs read access to the contents of unionlabs/union. You create one as follows:

1. Go to the fine-grained tokens page in settings
2. Click "Generate new token"
3. Set the following properties:

Expiry:                 90 days
Resource owner:         unionlabs
Repository access:      Only select repositories > union
Repository permissions: Contents - read-only

4. Click "Generate token"
5. Copy the token to a secure location, such as a password manager
6. Message @cor to ask him to approve your PAT request

Configuring Nix to use your PAT:

1. mkdir -p ~/.config/nix
2. touch ~/.config/nix/nix.conf
3. Insert access-tokens = github.com=github_pat_XYZ123...
