Questions

How do I get a personal access token?

1. Create a new personal token here.
2. Select 'repo' (which will select everything under repo), as ghost-storage-github will need access to your repository.
3. Copy the token that shows up upon successful creation, and paste that into the token field of ghost-storage-github's configuration.

I'm getting a "Bad credentials" error. What should I do?

Your token or password might be incorrect. You should double-check your configuration.

I'm getting a "Not found" error. What should I do?

Make sure the repository you specified exists. Also, check to make sure the branch (if specified) exists in the repo.
