okay, let's dive deep into github access tokens. this tutorial will cover what they are, why you need them, how to create them, best practices for using them securely, and practical code examples in various languages.

*what are github access tokens?*

a github access token is like a password but for specific applications or scripts. instead of giving your full github account password to a program, you give it a token with limited permissions. this significantly improves security because:

*granular control:* you can specify exactly what resources and operations the token has access to. for example, a token might only be allowed to read public repositories.
*revocability:* if a token is compromised, you can easily revoke it without changing your main github password, thereby preventing further damage.
*auditing:* you can audit when a token was used and by whom (especially with fine-grained tokens).
*two-factor authentication (2fa) compatibility:* using a token bypasses the need to disable 2fa for automated processes. in fact, using tokens requires 2fa to be enabled on your account.

*why use github access tokens?*

*automation:* automate tasks like building, testing, and deploying code.
*ci/cd pipelines:* integrate github with ci/cd services like jenkins, github actions, travis ci, circleci, etc., to automatically build and deploy your applications.
*api access:* access the github api from your applications (e.g., scripts, websites, desktop applications) to interact with repositories, issues, pull requests, and more.
*command-line tools:* use tools like the github cli (gh) to interact with github from the command line without having to repeatedly enter your password.
*third-party applications:* allow third-party applications to access your github data in a controlled and secure manner. (oauth applications are the preferred method here, but tokens are sometimes used.)
