A new step ([0.9.0](https://github.com/bitrise-steplib/steps-authenticate-with-github-oauth/releases/tag/0.9.0)) is just released!

###Authenticating GitHub services with your Personal Access token was never this easy!

The step will add your GitHub OAuth config to the .netrc file. If you already have a .netrc file, the step will create a backup of the original, and appends the configs to the current one.

###To get your GitHub Personal Access Token, follow the instructions below:

1. Login to yout GitHub account
2. In the upper-right corner of any page, click your profile photo, then click **Settings**.
3. In the left sidebar, click **Personal access tokens**.
4. Click **Generate new token**.
5. Give your token a descriptive name.
6. Select the scopes, or permissions, you’d like to grant this token.
7. Click Generate token.

Paste the received **Personal Access Token** into the step’s `access_token` input, and put your GitHub username to the `username` input.
