>[!warning] Experimental
>This feature is experimental. Please report issues to https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-brat/issues. Also, keep in mind the feature is designed to be very simple and will not likely cover the advanced needs of some projects.
BRAT supports accessing repositories that are marked as private on GitHub using personal access tokens.
A plugin developer can create an access token for a private repository that gives read-only access to the content of the repository. This can be done from your user profile using this link: https://github.com/settings/tokens?type=beta
1. Under Setting > Developer setting > Personal access token > Fine-grained tokens select **Generate new token**
2. Set the permission of the repository to the one they want to grant access to.
2. Set the content to be at least `read-only`.
GitHub will now generate a token you can give to your beta testers. Those testers will need to place that token in the field for the private token in the Settings tab of BRAT.
