With this prefix alone, we anticipate the false positive rate for secret scanning will be down to 0.5%. Other prefixes in use at GitHub are ghu for user-to-server tokens, ghs for server-to-server tokens, and ghr for refresh tokens. The first two letters in a token prefix identify the company that created the token, while the third letter specifies the kind of token. For example, the ghp prefix will be used with GitHub personal access token while gho will prefix OAuth access tokens. Those changes, though, says Harvey, lead to a couple of desirable properties.įirst off, the new three-letter prefix improves token identifiability.
GITHUB TOKENS PASSWORD
GitHub uses a number of different tokens to control access to its APIs: the personal access token, used for authentication instead of using username and password the OAuth Access Token, that implements the OAuth 2.0 protocol for apps that do not have access to a Web browser the GitHub App User-to-Server Token and the GitHub App Server-to-Server Token, used to grant access to a repo for a GitHub app on behalf of a user and the Refresh Token, used to refresh a user-to-server token.įrom the outside, the changes to the token format appear to be pretty minor, with only a new three-character prefix and extending the allowed character set. As GitHub engineer Heather Harvey explains, the new format aims to make tokens more easily identifiable, including when scanning repos for secrets, and to increase their entropy. Git personal tokens need repo access for commits and other actions.GitHub has recently moved to a new format for all of its tokens, including personal access, OAuth access, user-to-server and server-to-server, and refresh tokens. Users must configure the token for each runtime. If users have access to multiple runtimes, they can use the same personal access token for all the runtimes. If not provided during runtime installation, every user can add a personal access token after installation through User Settings, using either OAuth to authorize access or generate one from GitHub. Unique to each user, it is required to authenticate Git-based actions per runtime in Codefresh.
The Git personal token is a user-specific personal access token per provisioned runtime.
GITHUB TOKENS HOW TO
Permissions for Git runtime token How to update a Git runtime token Git runtime tokens need both repo and admim repo access to create webhooks for Git events. You can then generate a new Git runtime token from your Git provider, and update it in Codefresh.
The Git runtime token is specific to a runtime, and is mandatory for runtime installation.Īn expired, revoked, or invalid Git runtime token is flagged by a notification in the UI. The Git runtime token is required to provision Codefresh runtimes. You can update expired, revoked, or invalid Git runtime and personal user tokens.
