Creating a personal access token

Question

I wanted to push a repository on GitHub and here was the response:

The support for password authentication was removed, please use a personal access token instead

How do I create a personal access token?

Yes, i had to create individual PATs for my machines because you can't recover it after its used unless you save or copy somewhere – Olagoke Mills Dec 02 '22 at 14:54
