Personal access tokens are intended to access GitHub resources on behalf of yourself.

1.- Log in to your account on GitHub. In the upper-right corner of any page, click your profile photo, then click Settings, click on Developer settings tab -> Personal access tokens -> Tokens (classic) and press "Generate new token".

2.- Give your token expiration, select which permissions to grant the token and press "Generate token".

3.- Copy the token created.

4.- When you are going to do git push, paste the token in the window "Connect to GitHub".
