2. But to use this, you will need a personal access token and make sure to select the following scopes

3. Next, add action secrets to this repository like https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/encrypted-secrets#creating-encrypted-secrets-for-a-repository this. Remember SECRET_TOKEN must be the secret name. And the value will be the personal access token you just generated.
