  The Git personal token is a user-specific access token per provisioned runtime, and is required to authenticate Git-based actions per runtime in Codefresh.
  If your admin has set up authentication with OAuth2, you can authorize access to GitHub using OAuth2.
  Or, you can always generate a personal access token from GitHub and then add the same to Codefresh to authorize access.
